The image has been signed across the front by Eleanor Gehrig on behalf of Lou, "To Mickey, May you always find the happiness you so unselfishly give. Sincerely, Lou Gehrig 12/25/39". Signature and salutation rate 8 out of 10 and based on dating the photo was undoubtedly a Christmas gift to Eisenberg from the Gehrigs. General condition is exceptional with minimal handling wear.
