Presented here is an attractive matted display featuring a choice 1.5" x 2.5" ink signature from Gehrig. Gehrig's signature displays extraordinarily well and the slip itself has very few blemishes to speak of. The sheet is tastefully displayed along with an exceptional image of Gehrig in Yankee regalia standing at-bat to a size of 13" x 17". Compounded by the fact that Gehrig's life sadly concluded at just 37 years of age, his signature is of extraordinary scarcity.

Louis Gehrig (June 19, 1903 – June 2, 1941) was an American professional baseball first baseman who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees (1923–1939). Gehrig was renowned for his prowess as a hitter and for his durability, which earned him his nickname "the Iron Horse". He is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He was an All-Star seven consecutive times, a Triple Crown winner once, an American League (AL) Most Valuable Player twice, and a member of six World Series champion teams. In 1939, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and was the first MLB player to have his uniform number (4) retired by a team.
