He was called Suitcase Bob thanks to his travels between major league teams from 1930 to 1940 and was best known for being inserted as a pinch runner in game five of the 1936 World Series and being caught stealing to end the contest.  The Yankees recovered but Seeds was demoted to the International League for 1937 before he hooked up with the Giants, as his 1939 Play Ball card shows. Nicely signed in ink, some pen lift can be seen in his last name and PSA/DNA 8 is the resulting grade. 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.
