Gehrig
Forget that it is slabbed. Do you guys like the Gehrig in Heritage?

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

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.

I have seen that "style" of Gehrig's signature before and I have been told that it is the in person rushed style. I have never been a fan of it. I prefer his classic style signature.
But it must be good because PSA has certed it no matter what people think. |

Are there many fake "rushed" Gehrigs? I would figure that if you were going to do a fake Gehrig you would do a regular signature so it would be more facially acceptable. Kind of like I wouldn't expect there to be as many fake early Mantles (pre-half moons) as fake late ones. Or is this naivete on my part?

But playing devils advocate those could also be attributed I suppose to a clever scammer trying to throw someone of with forging something that way. Again, I'm not even giving an opinion on the signature. I'd suspect its a good rushed one but defer to people more knowledgeable on Gehrig. I too just thought it would be an odd way to forge a Gehrig, given the details.

I just think the letters in the last name look very elongated (up and down) compared to just about all other Gehrig signatures that I see. Even the versions you showed David. Something just looks off if you put it in a large group of signatures accepted as genuine.

Gehrig
I passed on it even though it's one of only 16 I need to complete my signed 33 Goudey set. It may be genuine, but I'd never be 100 percent certain and I'd rather hold out for a better example even if it is authentic.

For what its worth Id hate to see you miss out on such a rare item at what I am sure is a good price based on condition of autograph, but if David A says the autograph is good (not pretty) you can take it to the bank its good! David knows his Gehrig and I have always asked his advise before buying. He has save me a few times from a bad purchase. And BTW I still am looking for a Gehrig if anyone has one for sale...lol Happy hunting!!
