Very impressive collection - good for you! I especially like the Joe D. autographed photo. I live not too far from where Lou Gehrig had a house in New Rochelle, NY and I talk to an old guy at the park who used to go fishing with him as a kid in the 1930s before Lou moved to Riverdale. In 1988 I found a 6' tall double locker filled with sports memorabilia from 1930 to 1949 along with some 1934 and 1935 Goudey and 1934 Batter-Ups baseball cards in NM condition, and a Batman #1 comic book. What a score - I bought it all for $300.00 and sold it for $33,000.00 fast turnover. Today it would be worth a fortune. I still have boxes of the baseball sports pages from 1939 - 1949 that I don't know what to do with.
