All that matters is i consider it one).

Never thought i would own a gehrig signed card. He had a five year window to sign this, i consider this to be one of the rarest and most difficult signed cards of a hof'er to obtain based on how difficult it would be to get him to sign this before his disease took his toll in '39 when he stopped signing.

I know autograph is faint, card is not in the best shape, but i don't give a damn, it's a lou gehrig autographed rookie card!!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as i do, so enjoy!
