Presenting the only graded example of Dick Coffman on a 1939 Play Ball card. Coffman was a swingman for the Senators and Browns for the better part of a decade before a 1936 trade to the Giants turned him into a dedicated reliever. He's signed his name here running down the left side of a pretty fabulous full length pose, in black, which does show some lift but still looks great.  PSA/DNA Authentic is the grade for a tough signature as Coffman passed away in 1972. 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.
