The best one is lot 531, a book signed by twenty-six members of the 1927 Yankees. It has Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Huggins, Shocker and a guy named Eddie Phillips. Phillips wasn't in baseball in 1927 and he did play briefly for the team in 1932. Shocker died in 1929.

I was just informed that Phillips was in the Yankees spring training photo, but did not play for the Yanks in 1927. So it's got to be real. I'm sorry!
Another J.W Booth? Nice!
