He was also known as "Flit" but Doc Cramer's given name was Roger. A Centerfielder, he plied a strong bat over a twenty year big league career, amassing an impressive 2,705 hits. This 1939 Play Ball has a grade of PSA Authentic for the scrapbook-impinged reverse, with the front looking very clean and bright. The signature, in blue with some minor embellishment is beautiful and PSA/DNA agrees, with an autograph grade of GEM MINT 10 given.  Scrapbook residue is apparent on the reverse.  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.
