I am not making any comments on the signature itself, because I dont want to go there with some of the wolves on this forum, however, Fountain pens from the era had several different types of "nibs" that could range from paper thin, to extremely fat. Gehrig would have used whatever pen was given him so the thickness of the pen is not a dead giveaway that it is fake. It is very bold but the ball itself has obviously been stored well so once again, black ink will hold its color on Baseballs when they are properly stored.

I will comment that the other signatures are all good, and I dont think anyone on here would dispute that. Let the "experts" on here make their statements on the Gehrig itself.
