Lou Gehrig Card Help
I was wondering if anyone could identify this for me. It's made out of a thick cardboard type material. It's obviously old.. not in the best shape. Any info. would be helpful.
I did find a 1928 Lou Gehrig Exhibit Card that may be the card... Thanks Last edited by Semitar6; 10-13-2021 at 10:08 PM.

It looks to be a 1928 Exhibit.

Your item shows no blue hue. Patrick

I think you have an artificially aged fake. Look at the print quality and the stock seems wrong too where the tears show it.

I believe it's real, could be mistaken.
I think soaking that card would result in it being in even worse shape. I think old Exhibit cards don't soak well at all. If you're hellbent on soaking it, try soaking some distressed common Exhibit first. I think you'll find that the thin surface layer with the photo image will separate from the cardboard.

Definitely would not soak it, as Frank says. It would delaminate. Plus, the card stock is so compromised that it would probably fall apart. A conservator might be able to do something with it but would cost so much that you could just buy a decent card instead.

Exhibit Card
Now that I've gotten some more info. I believe it is real. If you look at the card closely, on the right corner, you can see the blue hue under the dirt. I'll probably just frame it on the wall and call it a day
