Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, attractive signed 1939 Play
Ball card of outfielder Jake Powell, portrayed with the
New York Yankees. Powell was a member of the Yankees during their run of four straight World Series wins from 1936 through 1939. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1948 at the age of 40,
making his signature is exceedingly rare. This
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.
