Spending/bidding in auctions is a rush/thrill addiction just like gambling.

Isn't the high number the tougher of the two 33s?

I think the low number is the harder one.

Not according to PSA.

Like Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig is represented twice in this wonderful set. Unlike Foxx, it is Gehrig's high number that it actually more difficult. Card #160 is seen far less frequently than his #92 card and rarely seen in PSA NM-MT 8 or better. In addition, it is usually found with whiter borders and a lighter blue coloration than the #92 card. Along with the common condition obstacles associated with the issue, both Gehrig cards often suffer from a general lack of eye-appeal from subpar focus and color. While these two Gehrig cards are not quite as popular as the two from the 1934 Goudey set, they are keys to the set and have been, arguably, underappreciated for some time. From his first full season in 1927 through 1932, Gehrig posted RBI totals of 175, 142, 126, 174, 184 and 151. Not even Babe Ruth himself could match Gehrig in that regard.

Ok cool ! Maybe I’m thinking the 33 Low Number 53 Ruth, I always felt that was the hardest of the 4 in series to find nice.

Gehrig usually batted 4th. There was another darn good hitter batting 3rd, maybe helped Gehrigs RBI numbers.

yeah the 160 is harder and mucher more likely to have focus/centering issues.
