This is awesome to tell autos, and trust me you couldn't make them out. If anyone saw the april pick ups page 1 Gehrig ball i picked up. My wife photo shopped the rest of the very light signatures and enhanced colors and to my surprise was Joe Di Maggio, Earle Combs and Johnny Murphy, Red Rolfe. I would gather a 1936 ball. Combs not listed on the 36 roster. But all the other names are. Any info why combs was missing. Any guesses as to what year this was signed?

Kevin,

Combs was not on the roster, but he was indeed a coach. If I remember, he started that position in '36 and stopped around '44 or '45?

Graig is correct. Combs stayed on as coach starting in 1936 to help teach Dimaggio how to field in Yankee stadium.
