To this day many baseball historians would credit Lou Gehrig with the best hitting season of all time. Always overshadowed by Babe Ruth, Gehrig would remain out of the limelight as much as possible. While the Babe would sign for almost any willing fan, Gehrig was much more of an introvert and would walk by the many requests, just trying to move on with his day. For that reason among others, single-signed Lou Gehrig items are even more rare than dual signed Ruth-Gehrig material & certainly more scarce than the famous autograph of The Babe on its own. Offered here is a unique vintage signed 3" x 5" newspaper photograph of The Iron Man in uniform. Signed by the legend in bold black fountain point ink, "Lou Gehrig" - a desirable uninscribed autograph. Overall in fine condition with expected toning to the vintage newspaper page. Authenticated & encapsulated by PSA/DNA, with the autograph receiving a rare NM-MT 8 grade. Impressive!
