Pitcher Joe Bowman of the Pirates signed this 1940 Play Ball card in blue ink, graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA. The card itself is lovely, clean and sharp with a crystal clear image, slightly off-center to the right. 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.
