A powerful First Baseman who helped propel the Reds into two consecutive Fall Classics, Frank McCormick took home the National League MVP award in 1940, the same year Cincinnati captured the crown from the Tigers. He's signed his 1939 Play Ball in dark black ink, slightly angling upward as it progresses across his chest.  PSA/DNA's review has yielded an evaluation of Authentic for a strong, albeit slightly uneven autograph laid down with a fountain pen.  Some paper remnants and a bit of loss are visible on the reverse, the result of long-ago scrapbook removal by the family of the original collector.  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.
