1941 Play Ball Chuck Klein #60 PSA Mint 9 - Pop Two, None Higher. Chicago Cubs fans must have thought they were seeing a miracle not experienced since the days of Tinkers, Evers and Chance when in fact future Hall of Famer Chuck Klein suited up in a jersey that read "Chicago" in 1934. His Chicago run lasted only three seasons before he went back to Philadelphia in 1936. Chuck Klein is not a household name but he is an honored member in Cooperstown. His first six seasons ere his most productive. Klein racks up over 1,200 of his 2,076 career hits and 191 of his 300 career home runs. He retired with a .320 lifetime batting average. His On Base Percentage is .379. 1933 was a banner year for him. He was the Phillies' greatest home run threat (he had ranks up 40+ dingers in 1929 and 1930) and with Babe Ruth seeming more human than titan, Klein earned the coveted Triple Crown in 1933 on 28 home runs, 120 RBIs and a .368 batting average.

Graded PSA Mint 9. One of only two graded MINT with none higher. A very nice example with a boldly colored and problem-free illustration. Acquiring any 1941 Play Ball in Mint condition, particularly a Hall of Famer, is an opportunity that usually only affords itself to specialized collections such as this.
