I finally bit the bullet and pulled down my first Lou Gehrig card ever. I am really excited about this new edition to my nearly complete 33 Goudey set. But, what I am not really excited about -- particularly as a T206 collector who has no patience or interest in the myriad backs that set has to offer -- is now having to pursue card #92, which sports the same front as my #160.
This seems like really lazy printing, if you ask me. Giving Gehrig the same short shrift that Rube Walberg got at cards #145 and #183. Heck, even Ruth got a red and yellow background, to go along with two completely different poses. So, why dupe the Iron Horse like that? Oh, why didn't they have a little foresight and put that amazing 1934 Goudey head shot in the 33 set? C'Mon, Goudey... get with the program...
