Gehrig autograph prices/demand

Granted, I have no idea what this would mean for the value of their signatures in the market. Either way, it's a pretty interesting study in contrast.

Yes Graig.. I competely agree but I still kinda feel like it is a good time to buy Gehrig comparing the price with Ruth and other past greats.

PS: You should be the writer for these auction houses man. The research you did on the dates would have cost me money I always look at the dates and see what happened around them when I buy an auto(if available). The fact that neither auction house made the date a centerpiece in the Combs letter really did not do the piece justice. I am really happy with the pickup. It might look pretty good framed with one of these...
