Hi, just a couple of quick comments. I am very certain that is not actually signed by Gehrig, not sure exactly if it's a forgery or someone just wrote it goofing around, if it is it's not a very good attempt at one. In regards to whether or not he was actually in Cooperstown on that date, he wouldn't have had to be in order to have signed it. People get first day covers signed all the time at later dates/locations, that's just the date it was stamped and sold as a collectible. The question comes up a lot about First Day Covers being signed the day they were stamped, it's just the date they put on it when it was issued.
