Lou Gehrig Autograph on the Sweet Spot of an OAL Harridge Baseball.
Lot 2. Lou Gehrig Autograph on the Sweet Spot of an OAL Harridge Baseball. Gehrig signed this ball in either 1936 or 1937 with more than 20 other New York Yankees. With time, the autographs have faded. The Gehrig signature remains the strongest, and its appearance is supported by the ex-m to nm off-white ball which retains strong pre-printed areas. The signature is light with all letters remaining visible. Its appearance is a strong vg-ex 4 or a somewhat weak ex 5, without any smudges or other defects. Signatures on the north and south panels are completely faded; impressions remain. Other signatures are visible on the east and west panels: Joe Glenn, Kemp Wicker, Art Jorgens, Jake Powell, Walter Brown, Bump Hadley, Johnny Murphy, Frank Crosetti and Bob Seeds. They range from vg 3 to ex 5, with most 4-5 but somewhat lighter than the Gehrig autograph. Gehrig’s remains a highly-sought autograph that is in relatively short supply. This is a very decent, affordable example. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $1,433.
