I thought the "other" version of the Gehrig was 1927? So are there in fact versions from all three years?

From a post on blowout.


Someone from the Joe Jackson Museum tweeted about it yesterday. "If that were actually autographed by Joe, we'd have put a bid in on it. Unfortunately, it is 100% not signed by him." They also tweeted, "Joe absolutely signed his name on more than one occasion. we have documented proof that he signed his will, a couple drivers licenses late in life, a couple other legal documents. The signature on this photo shows zero resemblance to Joe's known signatures. It's not his".

Peter - that is a definitive 1927 Exhibit. You’ll notice there is no text box in the lower left quadrant on the 1927 Gehrig. Easy to distinguish from his 1925 gray tint rookie & 1926 blue tint 2nd year subject with both of those having text boxes.

Got it, thanks. I was not previously familiar with the blue tint 1926 version.
