Was Lou unconscious when he "signed" that? How can that be real, honestly?

I checked PSA. both come up "Authentic" but no picture at this time...

They are both good; they are rushed, "ballpark" signatures.

Honestly David? If so, thank you for your expertise. I guess Id be spoiled and want a nice one.

By 1938-39, Gehrig had gotten very sloppy with his rushed signature. Admittedly, that album page leaves much to be desired from an aesthetic standpoint.

He might have signed it after the disease set in to the point where hus hands werent in full control.

Definitely very late career signatures, almost certainly in a crowd of kids/fans when he had to sign a few dozen in a row. It is interesting how it took about fifteen years for Gehrig to come up with a "quickie" signature. You don't see this style of Gehrig until the late 1930's. It took guys like A-Rod less than five years to develop the one-second scrawl.
