Mickey Owen was two years away from World Series infamy when his smiling visage graced the 1939 Play Ball set. A tape or glue stain marks the upper right corner of this PSA Authentic card, where the blue ink signature rolls upward across his upper torso.  The PSA/DNA 8 grade for the autograph references a little bit of an ink flow problem.  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.
