Gehrig is one of the 10 best baseball players of all time. No argument. And many board members, myself included, collect his cards and other stuff. Gehrig wasn't a big larger than life bombastic blowhard like, well, Ruth. He was Larry Bird, not Mr. Jordan. Pete Sampras to John McEnroe. For those of us who love Gehrig it was his quiet class and low key demeanor in the face of horrible tragedy that catapults him to the front of the line of baseball iconography. But to some collectors nearly a century later that might not translate into the same rarefied air as, say Eddie Plank. I joke .....
There are many Gehrig collectors on the board.
If you can ever afford it, get a Gehrig DeLong. Now that's card. . . .
