This is an incredibly cool piece related to the 1934 Goudey baseball set, sometimes called the “Lou Gehrig Says…” series; Chuck Klein’s signed endorsement contract to use his picture and name on cards in the set.
You see, Gehrig’s name and picture (blue background) are used on the bottom of most cards in the set.
But 12 (cards 80-91) feature Klein’s (red background) who had just come off a Triple Crown season.
The 7” x 8-1/2” document, dated July 18, 1934, defines the business agreement. A sample 1934 Goudey card featuring the “Chuck Klein Says…” ad is attached to the top of the document.
