Hall of Famer Earl Averill signed his 1940 Play Ball card in black ink, the card rating a grade of VG+ 3.5 from PSA, the signature a lovely MINT 9.  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.
