Congrats on the autos! What a cool gift. I guess I would recommend encapsulation now. Stolen from another thread, a member's daughter spilled grape juice on one of his nice T206 cards. Don't want that happening with a Gehrig signature.

Paul Schreiber was a batting practice pitcher for the Yankees in the 1930s, then a bp pitcher/coach in the 1940s - thus, his inclusion on this sheet. He was officially a coach in 1945, and came back to the active ranks to pitch 2 games for the Yankees - 22 years after his last Major League appearance with the 1923 Dodgers. A shortage of players during WWII led to those appearances.

He was also a Boston Red Sox coach 1947-1958, which led to his appearance on a 1954 Topps card, all by himself. I wish they still did that with long-time coaches; i.e. Leo Mazzone, long-time Braves pitching coach, never appeared in a Major League card set.
