Collection of ephemera related to the Lou Gehrig-endorsed "Knot Hole League of America" club advertised with the 1934 Goudey issue.  The Knot Hole League promised a membership card and "emblem," along with a booklet of premiums available to members as a redemption offer for wrappers.  Collection includes: 1) Goudey Wrapper: 1934 Goudey baseball wax wrapper, EX condition with folds related to its intended use. 2) Knot Hole League Invite: Written letter "signed" by Lou Gehrig, President of the Knot Hole League, letting the recipient know how to join the Knot Hole League, and what came with membership.  FAIR condition with heavy wear at the folds, and a large piece of paper missing along the top edge, which does not interfere with the actual graphics or content of the letter. 3) Knot Hole League Brochure: tri-fold brochure picturing various premiums redeemable with wrappers, including a baseball jersey redeemable for 200 wrappers of either Big League or Sport Kings gum.  POOR condition, due to being torn at one fold, with some creasing and wrinkling, though quite clean and presentable.  Three pieces total.
