Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr has one of the most handsome and recognizable signatures of all the players in his era.  This is clearly an early version, where Doerr takes great care to keep his signature inside the light area of the card created by his uniform.  PSA/DNA has graded the signature a perfect GEM MINT 10; Doerr was always a player that was proud of his signature, much like his teammate and good friend Ted Williams. The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
