I understand that one of the few such stubs in existence sold a few years back in a private sale for $22k. This is only one of only three Gehrig "luckiest man" ticket stubs ever authenticated and I suspect that there are just a handful more like yours that are legit but not yet authenticated. So, a true iconic rarity.
Only 3 known? Would have thought many more people would have stashed this one away in a scrapbook simply because of Gehrig's speech.
