A good-field, no-hit catcher who spent his entire eleven year major league career as a backup with the Yankees, Arndt Jorgens won five World Series titles and never played a lick in any of them. He's signed a PSA 4 1939 Play Ball, with just some light corner wear showing on the obverse, with a nicely rendered dark blue ink signature angling upwards.  It's a nice autograph and PSA/DNA is in agreement, with a grade of 9 given. Jorge's passed in 1980, making his signature quite difficult, particularly on a card. 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.
