Signed photo taken before his 2000th consecutive game. ("Mimmie," who the photo is inscribed to, was Pitzy Katz' daughter. Katz was an entertainer who used to often visit the Gehrigs after Lou's retirement to help cheer him. The Gehrig letters recently posted talk quite a bit about Katz.)
 Signed spring-training photo of Lou with a young fan:  GPC sent to a fan:  Lou with a couple of admirers:  Signed 1939 World Series program:  Postcard sent to a fan in 1940 from Gehrig's parole Board office. By then, he could no longer write, and employed a rubber stamp:

Any clue what this photo might be worth (minus the signature)? I am under the impression that it is a period copy of the original image. It's 8X10, on heavy matte stock. No markings on verso. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 07-03-2009 at 08:38 PM.

Great shot of the trophy yanks12025.
Terrific stuff everyone. Keep posting everything Gehrig.
These "trophy" photos were taken for a Look magazine article in 1940. gehrigstrophies.jpggehrigstrophieswife.jpg Although I did post this telegram in an earlier thread, I think it warrants a post here as well... gehrigtelegram1941.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 07-05-2009 at 05:28 AM.

Not my photo, found it on the Web, but a nice picture of Gehrig and his wife Eleanor Twitchell.

1939 All Star Game at Yankee Stadium...
This game was played exactly one week after Gehrig's "Luckiest Man" speech of July 4th, 1939.
The All-Star Game came to the House that Ruth Built for 1939 and honorary captain Lou Gehrig watched the AL win a tightly contested 3-1 game behind a Joe DiMaggio homer. Twenty-year-old Bob Feller, the Tribe's rookie fireballer, pitched out of a bases-loaded jam and hurled 3 1/3 innings of one-hit ball to close out the AL's win. Ticket Stub from said game... 1939allstargameticketstub.jpg
