Lee Grissom was a southpaw swingman who had an eight year career in the majors with four different teams.  This 1939 Play Ball card, with its image of a smiling Grissom, has a still-fresh look, with nice centering.  Signed in dark blue ink as Lefty Lou Grissom, the whimsical signature is little messy in his last name with the two s's looking like he hesitated a bit on them. Still, a nice autograph of a player who probably wasn't asked to sign many cards.  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.
