That is a neat connection to the set. Great set with great players. A little pricier to finish nowadays as in addition to the Ruth-Gehrig card there's a Jackie Robinson card highlighting his breaking of baseball's color barrier. Like most early Robinson cards, the value of this card has risen greatly recently. But it actually still seems to be a little bit more underappreciated than a lot of his other 1940's card issues. A great little set to go after, highlighting some of baseball's most iconic feats and players. Good luck if you do decide to go after the set.
