Lot 602: 1930's Lou Gehrig Signed Baseball & Paper Hat

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Matched pair was inscribed identically to a young boy by the Iron Horse. Paper hat is torn in back, but signed visor is untouched by damage. Inscription, "To Ray Jr. - Kindest Regards, Lou Gehrig" is NRMT. Matching inscription on the side panel of a "Taylor Boys League" baseball is a touch lighter but still easily legible, perhaps a six to seven on a scale of ten. Gehrig autographs are getting tougher and tougher to find, and he's an absolute must for a serious collection.
