Upcoming Grey Flannel auction. It seems that JSA says this Gehrig is real.

Maybe they are authenticating it as signed "Lou Gehrig" in the hand of Leo Durocher :) looks more like Leo's handwriting than Gehrig's!

I agree that it looks nothing like Gehrig's signature but looks Leo's writing.
Shame on you JSA!!!

From the auction :
"Both Gehrig and Dahlgren signed the photo in a black fountain pen and in our opinion, rates a 8-9 overall"

The auction description says "This photo is sourced from the Durocher estate and is accompanied by a JSA LOA which states that the Gehrig autograph is of the secretarial variety making this more of a nice display piece than anything else".

JeffGee... You could say I should have read further, but...
I guess I was thrown off by the absolutely unambiguous statement that "Both Gehrig and Dahlgren signed the photo."
Silly me.

David, maybe you should "Cease & Desist" before you go any further...:)

I apologize for not reading further . If some of us have done it I wonder if a bidder will do it also and place a bid .

I am 100% sure that the last line was not there when this lot was originally pointed out on this forum. It was either added later as a coincidence or because it was in error that was brought to the auction houses attention.

It didn't say that when I posted my quote. They removed the words "Both Gehrig and Dahlgren" and added a capital to "Signed", which doesn't make for the best sentence...
"Signed the photo in a black fountain pen and in our opinion, rates a 8-9 overall."

There isn't a photo of the cert for you to read if they didn't include that information in the description.

Considering it is still only in preview mode, I think it is fair to allow for edits. I know other auction companies such as Heritage do the same thing where they basically just post pictures.
