OAL Pre-1934 Baseball Signed by Lou Gehrig - Authenticated by PSA/DNA.
Lot 1. OAL Pre-1934 Baseball Signed by Lou Gehrig - Authenticated by PSA/DNA. Kevin Keating also authenticated Gehrig’s autograph, which is on the sweet spot. The stampings on this ball, which probably was game-used, are extremely faint; the stitching is red and blue, the colors used on Official American League baseballs before 1934. Except for the “L” in Lou, Gehrig’s signature is strong and warrants an 8 of 10. The top of the “L” is faint. The ball has a stain beside “Lou” and a scuff above the “h” in Gehrig. This is a very desirable single-signed example of Gehrig’s autograph. Letters of authenticity from Collectible Classics with a reference to authentication by Keating and from PSA/DNA, signed by Steve Grad. UPDATE: Based on various examplars, this autograph is consistent with the way Gehrig signed in the 1924-26 period. Consequently, the ball is highly collectible not only because it is single-signed, but also because it is an early, scarce example of Gehrig's autograph.
Winning Bid $7,321.
