This lot contains a very nice representation of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signatures. The best part about these two autographs is that they are together on the same slip of paper, which is a very rare occurrence. The slip that the autographs are on is glued to another sheet of paper containing various other writings and an unknown signature below Gehrig. An album page with Johnny Kling's signature (rare) is also affixed to the paper. Both the Ruth and Gehrig signatures are in pencil and were signed circa 1933. The Ruth grades 8/10 while the Gehrig rates 7/10. The Gehrig signature has some light shadowing which either means that the pencil that was used had a irregular point or that someone tried to enhance potions of the signature; we are not certain which of the two occurred. The Ruth is untouched. Comes with LOA.
