Looks quite different than any other I have ever seen.
But who am I to argue with Heritage??

Hard to believe an expert is not familiar with this variant, as it is quite common.
It is a mid-1930s rushed, "ballpark" signature.
And it's perfectly genuine.

Genuine is genuine. Sometimes even PSA and Heritage get it right.

Yes, it is genuine. Gehrig employed this rushed style mostly in the 1937-38 seasons from my experience.

Not a fan of the shot it Richard. But in different places that I've looked I have seen that rushed signature. Still would be awesome to be able to buy a better one like the more classic style.

After I made my post I sent an email with the Gehrig image to someone with an opinion that I truly respect and who is highly revered on Net54 but who did not want his name used..
Here is his reply:

I have certainly seen many rushed sigs of Gehrig before, usually they are on scorecards, but not quite like that one.
Does anyone have an exemplar with that "L"?

Gee... I just heard from a "revered Net54 expert," too. And I have no doubt that those here hold his expertise in high regard.

He says the signature is good.

(Two can play the "un-named source" game.)
