Johnny Schule enjoyed a 5-year career as a ballplayer, but found his greatest success as a coach, serving 15 years with the Yankees and two more with Boston, winning 7 World Series along the way.  Schulte's signature on cards is difficult, however, as his 1978 passing predates the hobby boom.  This example has been assessed by PSA/DNA as a GEM MINT 10 signature. 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.
