Beautiful display item features a 9/10 signature of The Iron Horse. Signature is in black fountain pen, and is nicely framed and matted with an oversized photo of Gehrig at bat in 1938, printed from the original negative. Style of Gehrig's signature dates to around that same time (1937-38). Total size of display is 28 x 30", and is Near Mint overall. For those of you not aware, Gehrig's autograph is many times more difficult to find than Ruth's. He died at a very early age, and instead of carousing at night out in public, preferred to stay at home and get his rest. Additional LOA.
