Graded EX 5 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his "Rookie Card" appearance. This extremely popular, debut-year image of Reese pictures the famed Dodger in a smiling portrait likeness set against the issue's distinctive pastel background. During the 1941 campaign that saw "Pee Wee" assume the regular shortstop role for the Boys of Summer, Play Ball was the issue of choice among young collectors. The lack of color cards from competing manufacturers added to the popularity of '41 Play Ball, yet the supply of quality examples available to our hobby today is perennially scant. The offered showpiece is nicely centered, and discernible wear is limited to mild evidence of handling at the edges and corners. The cardfront exhibits a pleasing white hue, projecting its innovative design with admirable clarity, and the reverse features a gentle hint of even toning. The card enjoys very favorable visual appeal, with fully uniform colors that are free of the issue's usual printer's inconsistencies or blemishes. Wholly satisfying Excellent condition.
