1939 Play Ball #38 Billy Myers PSA 9 – A Pop 6 Beauty from a Classic All-Time Set

The 1939 Play Ball set marked a turning point in the hobby—ushering in the era of full photographic card design and coinciding with baseball’s centennial celebration. Billy Myers, a reliable shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, appears on card #38, captured during the peak of a career that included a National League pennant in 1939 and a World Series appearance that same year.

This example, graded PSA 9, is one of the finest known, with only 6 copies reaching this grade and none graded higher. The card boasts outstanding clarity, crisp registration, and clean white borders, with razor-sharp corners and near-perfect centering. The reverse is bright and well-preserved, featuring the signature Play Ball write-up style that has made this set a favorite among prewar collectors.

A true condition rarity from one of the most important sets of the late 1930s—ideal for high-grade set builders, Reds collectors, or anyone pursuing the finest surviving examples of early modern baseball cards.
