Price Realized: $3,127.85

This rare OAL (Harridge) specimen (EX) is of special importance as it features the signatures of Lou Gehrig in his final season, Joe DiMaggio in his best hitting season, and 27 of their teammates (29 total) from one of baseball's all-time teams. Their black ink autographs stand out proudly against a light, evenly spread patina, with Gehrig’s (side panel) and DiMaggio’s (sweet spot) garnering an "7" out of possible "10". The others are equally impressive (average 7/10) and include Lefty Gomez, Bill Dickey and Red Ruffing, Red Rolfe, Tom Heinrich, Charlie Keller, Earle Combs, Joe Gordon, Johnny Murphy, et al.
