Babe Ruth Auction To Benefit Babe Ruth Foundation Closing February 18
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2017
Presented is this oversized photograph of Lou Gehrig with his mother Christina taken in 1927. This photograph is the largest of its kind we have offered for this era, making this a truly unique collectible. The photograph depicts Gehrig in his full road uniform with “YANKEES” across the chest and his left arm around his mother’s shoulder. This endearing shot of mother and son could not be conclusively assessed by PSA/DNA according to Type and appears to have been produced from a "duplicate negative."
Please note: Due to their routine newsroom usage for publication purposes, all news-service photos generally bear varying degrees of handling wear (creasing, crazing, chipping, etc.) and editorial marks (outlining, cropping, highlighting, background masking, etc.). Goldin Auctions will be donating 5% of the winning bid price of this lot and all lots in this auction to the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum.
