1937 Yankees
Was lucky enough to pick up this 1937 Yankees team signed sheet with a pencil Lou Gehrig signature on it at a small auction in Michigan. However, congratulations also must go out to the other bidder who bid against me on this lot. He won several 1937/1938 Whos Whos books for $53.00. Inside he found several signatures on one page which no one else spotted and among them on a Pirates photo page were Pie Traynorboth Waners and a nice Honus Wagner....bummer for me--I should have looked much closer!

Gehrig
No there was not a lot of sports memorabilia...just a few things. I feel very fortunate to have come away with this one signed Gehrig item. I always wanted to add something to my collection but with all of the fakes and secretarial signed pieces out there...was never ready to take the leap and also have the dollars in place. This will get matted with an 8X10 photo of the 1937 Yanks and will look great on the wall. Thanks for your kind words!

Honus Wagner Press Photo
I just loved this pic. I am not sure what year, any uniform experts feel free to chime in

Andrew:
The Wagner photo, based on the uniform, would be 1913 or possibly 1914. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 11-21-2011 at 02:07 PM. |

Thanks Phil. That is what I had narrowed it down to also. I had info based on a description of the uniform but no team photos that I could match it to.

[QUOTE=Kzoo;941610]Hey Dave, I didn't know you were on the forum!! As Dave noted, I was the other bidder on the Gehrig page and the one that picked up the Who's Who books with the autographs noted above plus Ki Ki Cuyler, Mule Haas, Floyd Young, Bill Brubaker, Gus Suhr, Tommy Padden, Johnny Dickshot, Goodwin Rosen, Van Mungo, T. Brack, and John Hudson.....plus a separate signed envelope by Casey Stengel in 1958. Not to be too critical of Dave's description, but I was also fortunate enough to pick up the Stengel signature in that auction sales total, as well . So, it was a bittersweet auction for me after the disappointment of coming in second on the Gehrig page as it was VERY poorly advertised in the auction listing and I was hoping (for all 5 days prior to the sale) that it could be bought for peanuts (next time you travel to Michigan, Dave, please call for permission first)......however, after meeting Dave after the sale, it didn't sting as bad after realizing he was a good guy and not a bit arrogant or cocky......and I was relieved nobody else bothered to flip through the Who's Who books!!
Boy Matt, this is really a nice haul- especially for the price!!! Congrats on your pickup-very nice! |

Finally picked up a post card of Forbes Field. I really like the letter on the back too.

Well done Brock. I know you appreciate a bargain, but that is a quality job that cannot have been cheap.
