Boston pitcher Emerson Dickman lasted five major league seasons, eventually becoming head coach at Princeton University and winning two Eastern League championships, reaching the college World Series the only time in the school's history.  Dickman died in 1981, rendering his signature difficult, despite his popularity.  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.
