Gene Moore spent fourteen seasons in the big leagues and was a right fielder with doubles power and a good batting eye. He played for six different teams and was with the Dodgers for the 1939 Play Ball set.  His card is graded Authentic here, with scrapbook remnants and paper loss seen on the reverse. The signature is another story, signed in black and appealingly jagged in appearance.  PSA/DNA has graded it 10 and it's the only signed card from the set in their database for a player who died in 1978.  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.
