I literally walked the entire floor of the national and found this one and maybe an 8 or 9 for $100k which is many (many) more times than I paid for mine. I could not find anything higher than a 4, so I sorta felt like I had to, because I didn't expect it to be that difficult to find.
I collect 1933 Goudey, but I really love the yellow and green 1934 Gehrig's. I bought the yellow one, and I told the wife all the gory details. She responded with "I trust your judgement." It wasn't happy or mad, but deadly serious.

You can't go wrong on Gehrig, he's the Ironman. I have a photo of him on the wall of my 11 year old son's bedroom. We talk about him all the time, consecutive games, ALS, stats.
To say the next generation will not care or will not know these guys is bogus. I can imagine my son, if he ever had some disposable cash, would buy this card in 30 years; at a minimum, to rekindle the memories of our talks together.
