Lou Gehrig Cards, Opinion Needed
I would possibly like to add a Gehrig card to my collection and had a general question. What would be my best option for an affordable copy of one of his cards with the following caveats:
- Issued during his playing days only - A photograph of him (not artwork depicting) - A minimum size in height of a goudey (approx) - Only him on the card - $200-300 price range (card must be complete) I know it's a narrow path but I figured who better to ask such things as the gracious and knowledgable members of this board. Thanks in advance, Tony

What about a strip card from the late 20's? You should find a rough one in your price range, some have real photos, and they are fairly close in size to a Goudey (skinnier width-wise though). W565 comes to find for example.
Also, for around $300-$400, you might be able to pick up a poor '34 Goudey and possible a DeLong.

W517
I'm not sure of the pricing (though it would be on the lower end of Gehrig cards) but in all other aspects the W517 set would meet your criteria.

The Butterfinger Premium is a great Gehrig pose and meets your criterion. Most of the 1920s strip cards are smaller then a Goudey.

all these in lower to mid grade should be had for close to $300 if not less
W517 W517-2 (scarce) W553 (scarce) W560 W565 R315, R316 and the late 1920s Exhibits are nice too, but they are larger than a R319 Last edited by fkw; 11-11-2010 at 04:05 PM. |

Thanks for all the great ideas. One last question, other than ebay or the auction houses, where can I find these type issues and trust they are not fakes or reprints, since I probably wouldn't know one if I saw one?
Thanks again!
