It does look like it is spelled 'Joesph'. Back in the day, no special training was required to perform secretarial signing duties.

Probably were going to sign Joe then changed their mind a little late to try to make it Joseph.

Having collected Playballs the number 1 thing that turns collectors off about the 1939 Playball set is the fact that there is no name on the front. This could have been just a kid with good penmanship who wanted a name on front.
As for Grading not sure about now but wasn’t there a time when you could check a box and ask that no qualifiers be listed? Card looks nicer than most 3's.

I thought that only applied to oc, mc & st qualifiers
They would never eliminate the mk qualifier
