I wouldnt put a specific time to get Gehrig. I would constantly be sorting Ebay and other places on "1934 Goudey" and if a Gehrig comes up with the right combination of price and condition for you, buy it. If not, keep buying other cards until one does. I will tell you, sooner or later you will find the right one, so dont limit yourself to buying it right now or not until the end. Thats my opinion.

I will say that i would consider the set incomplete without both Gehrigs. However, in the 1933 Goudey set, i collect Yankee cards, and i only have one of the two Gehrigs and i consider my Yankee team set complete for the reason that these two Gehrigs are virtually identical, and i refuse to pay the money to have two identical expensive cards of Gehrig. But in the end, its your collection, and its what YOU think and what YOU want to do. There is no right or wrong in collecting, whether it relates to what cards you want or when you want to buy them.
