Embodying genuine humility and a selfless competitive spirit like no player before or since, Lou Gehrig was the ideal role model for persons in all walks of life. Two years after learning of his tragic fate, Gehrig succumbed to the debilitating illness, leaving a vacancy in the Yankee clubhouse and in the hearts of millions. This full ticket was issued in 1941 as the club held a memorial tribute for its fallen star. Scheduled for July 4, exactly two years to the day of Gehrig’s heart-wrenching “Luckiest Man” speech, the service was postponed due to rain and held two days later as the Yankees hosted the Philadelphia Athletics in a twinbill. Encapsulated and assessed “Authentic” by PSA, this full voucher is one of 13 graded by the third-party service. On the obverse, a black-and-white portrait of Gehrig is accented by printed seating/event details, as well as the facsimile signature of Yankees president Ed Barrow. An angled “VOID” stamping was rendered at the Yankee Stadium box office for those who were unable to attend the make-up date. The edges and corners present nicely and there is mild surface wear. Adhesive residue on the reverse (but no paper loss) accounts for the technical assessment. This item has a reserve. Estimated value ($1500-$2500).
