拍品专文

Handwritten letter filling two sheets of approx. 5"x6.5" paper has been signed at the close, "Sincerely Lou Gehrig." It was written in response to a request for a photograph and Gehrig writes in part, "I really am sorry but this is the best I can do for you. It is a snapshot taken one spring of Nick Cullop...Pee Wee Wanninger...and myself..." The referenced image (just over 3"x4") is included (light wear, small tear to left edge) and shows Lou and his former teammates in street clothes as they pick fruit from a tree. Letter has lightly toned (more pronounced spots in a few areas) and each page has a horizontal fold. The original envelope (postmarked 26 October 1926, soiling/discoloration, torn upper edge, stamp missing) bears an additional "L.Gehrig" autograph in the return address area. Both pages of the letter and the envelope have been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA with signatures graded PSA 6 EX-MT (envelope) and PSA 8 NM-MT (letter). A choice early career Gehrig piece in the form of a scarce handwritten letter (complete with additional signature on envelope) that includes what was once one of his personal photographs: EX-MT and NM-MT
