Description click for larger image19632: 1927 Lou Gehrig Signed Oversized Photograph. 1927 Lou Gehrig Signed Oversized Photograph. From the greatest New York Yankees season in its illustrious history comes another brilliant photographic study of the American League's Most Valuable Player. The fabled Iron Horse poses beside young Joe Glassenberg, who held one of the most coveted summer jobs in the history of teen employment as bat boy for the Murderer's Row-era Yankees of 1926 through 1928. This image is printed to the prodigious dimensions of eleven by fourteen inches! Filling the pinstriped expanse of Gehrig's barrel chest is a stunningly bold black fountain pen inscription reading, "To my friend Joe from Lou Gehrig." A few condition issues must be noted in regard to the photo itself, most notably a horizontal crease that spans the lower quadrant of the photo, well clear of the autograph and the image's central focus. The occasional minor edge tear and corner chip are likewise of little concern, as are the tape stains at the corners. This exceptional signed photo is accompanied by a wire photograph saved by young Joe that pictures him picking up Goose Goslin's bat after the Hall of Fame Senator smacked a home run at Yankee Stadium. Finally, Glassenberg's niece has provided several photocopies of the column, entitled "Straight from the Bench," that her uncle authored for New York City newspaper The Evening World. Oversized dimensions, a flawless inscription and rock-solid provenance register this offering as among the finest Gehrig signed images known. LOA from PSA/DNA. LOA from James Spence Authentication.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids.

Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
