Red Nonnenkamp enjoyed a brief, four-year major league career, mostly with the Boston Red Sox.  As a utility man in 1938, Nonnenkamp played in 87 games, posting a .283 batting average with 18 RBI.  His career included 12 minuor league seasons, where he played through 1946, ostensibly missing some time due to the war.  This 1940 Play Ball card has been graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, the signature garnering a MINT 9 assessment.  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.
