Signed 1940 Play Ball card of "pinch hitter, pitcher and first baseman" Chubby Dean, who played for eight seasons before having his career ended by the start of World War II.  Dean batted .274 in limited duty, also posting a lifetime record of 30-46 with a 5.08 ERA (Ohtani, he wasn't).  He passed away in 1970 at the young age of 55.  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.
