(LOT 1673)
1937 World Events Broadside with Lou Gehrig Playing 1,900th Consecutive Game Includes Auction LOA

We are thrilled to present a rare and historic collectible: a 1937 World Events broadside featuring Lou Gehrig playing his 1,900th consecutive game. Well-preserved with minimal wear, though there are fold lines present, showcasing the historical significance of the piece. The original owner wrote the date in pencil, 8/31/37, in the top right corner. This broadside highlights a major milestone in the career of Lou Gehrig, one of baseball's most iconic figures. Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games played stood as a record for over half a century. The broadside captures the essence of 1930s sports journalism, providing a snapshot of the era's major events, with a special focus on Gehrig's remarkable achievement.
