Offered is one of the finest Lou Gehrig ink specimens we have had the pleasure of handling. Written on the face of this scarcely seen postcard featuring the Iron Horse is "To J.H. Powell With Kindest Regards-Cordially, Lou Gehrig" in bold, dark black fountain pen. Perfect in form and fluidity from start to finish the autograph and inscription conservatively grade as an "8.5" out of possible "10". Equally impressive is the print on the backside, also in his hand, "J.H. Powell Director Physical Ed-, Cheyenne, Wyoming." Postmarked, "Feb. 26, 1935" from New Rochelle, NY. The card itself has clean front and back surfaces and only minor edgewear. Overall EX.
