Signed 1939  Play Ball card of Senators pitcher Ken Chase.  1940 was Chase's best season, winning 15 games with a 3.23 ERA, though he also led the American League with 143 walks and 12 wild pitches.  Chase passed in 1985, lending some difficulty to obtaining signed cards.  This example has graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA. 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.
