I have seen the signature you describe, and wouldn't be at all surprised if he had help moving his hand. (Photos taken of Gehrig at his Parole Board desk seem to show a great deal of hand paralysis,)

There are many letters of thanks written by Gehrig after "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day," July, 4th, 1939. They are all signed by Gehrig, and signed well. During the 1939 season, his signature was not a scrawl.

David is a card like that with the rubber stamp worth anything?
