That's a really tough card. Looks like there are only 10 examples graded between PSA and SGC, although a number of those could be either crack-outs or cross-overs.

One of the biggest problems you'll find in locating high-grade examples of the 1936 World Wide Gehrig is that he was extremely well-known at the time (unlike Dimaggio). That means his cards usually received quite a bit of handling. In all likelihood, you're probably looking at a card where there are less than 50 EX or better examples in all of cartephilia.
