Top Tiger Charlie Gehringer, their ace Second Baseman and doubles hitter supreme, gazes forth on his 1939 Play Ball card, perhaps looking for one more pennant (which he would get the following season).  He has signed it, as "Chas.", in a somewhat formal hand, in blue ink that angles upward, with a neat little grace note at the end of his last name.  It's a fine looking autograph and PSA/DNA has graded it MINT 9 in agreement.  The card itself is a PSA VG-EX 4 and looks great for the 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.
