Delongs are a wonderful set, and one that is relatively easy to complete.
We have studied the set for more than 30 years.
As you may know Howard Delong was the treasurer of Goudey before
he left to form Delong.
Delong wrappers) are extremely rare. One can also find
Delong Stock certificates (REA auctioned an example in 2004)
and some correspondence between Howard Delong and various venders.
We would suggest that if you are so fortunate as to obtain the cards
in question, that you have them graded.
In investment grade condition (PSA 8 or PSA 9) Delongs bring $2500+
with the Gehrig a $20,000 card.
You may want to look at both the PSA and SGC population reports to
gain an affinity for the relative rarity of Delongs.
Good luck
