1927 Large and incredibly intimate portrait photograph of Lou Gehrig from the New York Yankees as he posed at the ballpark during the famous "Murderers Row" season. A famous photograph that was even used for the cover of the 1928 Sporting News Record Book, this is one of only a handful known to exist and only the second example we have ever handled personally. The offered Underwood and Underwood photograph carries full borders and a deep, perfect image with a stamp and paper caption on the back. Offered here from the achives of Underwood and Underwood and encapsulated as a Type 1 by PSA. The condition is really nice with a tiny corner chip and just a hint of handling wear, it certainly ranks as one of the best specimens known!
