Fantastic group of nine vintage fountain pen signatures on an off-white 5.5 x 6.5 sheet of Atlanta Biltmore Hotel letterhead, no date [April 1934]. The signers are: Frankie Crosetti, Harry Smythe, Don Heffner, George Uhle, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Red Rolfe, Bill Dickey, and Sam Byrd. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed by Heffner and bearing his Yankees return address, and postmarked Birmingham, Alabama, April 5, 1934. The Yankees’ training camp was in St. Petersburg, Florida, and it seems likely that the players signed while on their return trip to New York in time for opening day on April 17. In fine condition, with light toning and soiling, folds (touching Smythe and Dickey), very subtle brush to Heffner’s first name, mounting remnant affixed to reverse, trimmed bottom edge, and pinhole to blank portion. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA. Featured collection item.
