Default Lou Gehrig RETIRADO Card:

Hello my grumpy friends!

I don't collect baseball, but I do enjoy checking them out online from time-to-time. Now I just came across this card on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Venezue....c100011.m1850

I don't know Spanish, but this card has the word "retirado" on the front. Doesn't that mean retired? Gehrig had been dead for 26 years when this card was manufactured, and they wrote retired on it? This is pretty insulting if you ask me - what do you guys think? Oh, and I'm also surprised how high the price is because I wouldn't spend $5 on it.

They produced a series of cards that year, and there was a set of retired players. Gehrig and others. Why is this insulting or anything else? Don't see the point.

This is a quite rare card and I suspect a lot of people would be interested adding to their collection the highest graded PASTEBOARD EXTANT.

To find any of those 50 retirado cards in even a 3-4-5 is huge but a 7! Wow. Love the subset of that years Venezuela cards......I too wondered if the OP was the consignor. Stranger things have happened.

I was going to bid on this highest in existence Gehrig one of a kind pasteboard, but now see that one of the leading bidders has 64.9% of his recent bids in other PWCC auctions. That's just too high. Everyone should steer clear.

Default I love this set.

My Type 1 original photo example.

Interesting how our tastes differ. I love these cards in hand. I have a gehrig and a Ruth to go with my photos.

The OP doesn't even collect baseball. Trying to figure out why he posted this in the first place?

It looks like there's a dark outline subtly added to your Ruth shot. It is especially visible around his legs/butt. Not sure if it affects anything, and I'm sure you're already aware of it, but I'd thought I would point it out anyway.
