If I could ask one thing of Chris and everyone else here...I understand the Gehrig could/is authentic and I also understand that pen manufacturers obviously made many writing instruments. My only concern, and this could only be my lack of knowledge with the ink from that time period, but the seller has a Frank Frisch/Vince DiMaggio ball listed and it looks like it was done with the EXACT same writing instrument. Specifically the Frisch. Also both items were submitted to JSA on same day. Could just be me over-thinking it, but worth a look.

if we believe the backstory the husband could've brought the same pen with him to both games and had the players sign with it.

James,
Though I am not sure I agree with the comment, and would really want to examine these baseballs in hand before rendering an opinion, see comment #21 above. Your question was answered.

I think someone touched on this earlier. It could have been done in the same pen( given to the players by the same man as teh story suggests). Both balls were dated 1937 within months of one another. If it was a good pen, there would be a good chance the guy didn't lose it/throw it away ect. They didn't go through pens like we do now.
