J.McMurryThats very interesting.
I know Halper had a typed letter that I believe was dated 1940 and signed by Gehrig. The sig looked nothing like his normal autograph, as it was very shaky and almost childlike. There is a pic of it in the halper auction catalogs from 1999. While a signed ball from this period may be possible,it certainly would not look anything like a Gehrig signature and personally, Eleanor Gehrig herself would have to be handing me the ball before I would feel good about it.
