Help Identifying a Lou Gehrig "card"?
1 Attachment(s)
In my constant quest for oddball Lou Gehrig items, I took a chance on this one...
It is blank-backed, sepia-toned, and undated. The stock is not as thick as card-stock, but it also not a thin paper/magazine cutout. It's slightly thicker than standard photograph paper or posterboard (has about the same bend as 8-10 sheets of common printer paper). It measures approximately 3-3/4" x 5-1/8". I bought it cheap, assuming it would be a modern item or a vintage cutout from a magazine, but now I don't think so, based on the stock and blank back. Also, it seems odd a modern item would mention his 1965 consecutive games streak instead of 2130, so it seems to be legitimately from 1937/1938. Anyone have any clues on this? |
no but...
It looks like it still might have been cut from an ad piece even though thicker than paper. Never seen it before. Maybe someone will have though.....there is a ton of knowledge here....

My guess is something like a "Who's Who in Baseball" publication or similar....... The size would be about right
