Johnny Cooney was both a position player and a pitcher, going 14-14 in 29 starts in 1925, converting to first base and outfield after 1935 and reviving his career.  All in all, he spent ten seasons in the majors as a pitcher, and ten more as a position player, batting .286 lifetime.  This 1940 Play Ball card has been graded VG 3 by PSA, the signature a perfect GEM MINT 10 from 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.
