I agree with has been said. I have one of these and have never considered it either close to being rare or a "key" Gehrig card. Now of course a card doesn't have to be rare to be considered key, the two '34 Goudey Gehrigs are certainly not rare and they are considered keys I would say. If you are patient you can pick one up at a decent price. I think much of the increase in price is due to the fact that there has been an appreciation long term in the amount Exhibits are bringing compared to the old days when they were considered low caste hobbywise and it has been a way to pick up a legitimate, playing days Gehrig card and player/HOF type collectors have driven the price up.
