Lou Gehrig Signed Autographed '33 Sporting News Baseball Almanac Hand Cut AUTO PSA/DNA 10

While he shared his signature with adoring fans a good amount for much of his life, decades later Lou Gehrig's autograph remains one of the most coveted in all of sports. He's not just a great but a beloved Yankees great. His life was also cut tragically short at the age of 37, leaving many fans without the opportunity to get him to sign. The magnitude and rarity of this Lou Gehrig hand-cut autograph is immense. Exceptionally clear and vibrant, it has been graded a Gem Mint 10 by PSA. The signature has been paired with a cut that makes for an equally tremendous display, paired with a full-body photo of the Iron Horse. It appears from that the cut may have come from the 1933 Sporting News Baseball Almanac. The .349 batting average captioned with the image reflects his 1932 numbers. Though his consecutive games streak usually comes to mind when baseball fans think of Lou Gehrig, he had many other memorable moments throughout his 17 seasons with the New York Yankees. That includes a banner day on August 3, 1934, when the Yankees hosted the Philadelphia Athletics. Gehrig came into the game on the heels of a 3-for-3 effort the day before, and he went right to work against Philadelphia starter Sugar Cain, blasting a solo home run in the first inning. With two more hits and an eighth-inning homer, Gehrig became the first player in franchise history to go a perfect 7-for-7 across two games—a mark that stood alone for nearly 50 years until Lou Pinella equaled it in 1982 (Bernie Williams later broke it with a 9-for-9 effort in 2002). Overall, Gehrig became the 33rd player since 1901 to achieve the feat, but he was the first to hit three home runs during such a hitting binge. Brilliant stretches like that throughout the 1934 season propelled Gehrig to a .363 average, 49 home runs, and 166 RBI—earning him an oft-forgotten Triple Crown. It's also an illustration of how Gehrig became one of baseball's biggest legends. Pieces like this stunning autograph rarely come along and are legendary themselves.
