I saw it and noted in the Hunt thread, that I wondered if Gehrig was ever a secretarial / ghost signer for Babe. I feel comfortable that it looks like a legit Gehrig signed photo, but his "Babe" looks very similar to how Ruth really signed his name, which is what made me wonder....

As I search for other Gehrig inscribed photos, where he finished a word with an "e", none of them were written in the way he wrote the "e" in "Babe". That's what really made me think he could have been used to signing "Babe" in a certain way, and why he may have signed it on the picture in that way.

I believe Gehrig was mimicking Babe's signature. Ruth's signature was already iconic.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth autograph forged by Lou Gehrig?

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised no one has put a Babe Ruth signature on a beater T206.

"My great grandfather was at the train station and all he had on him for Ruth to sign at the time was a Paddy Livingston T206 card..."
