He looks upset because he was on the path to topple Ruth and any record he set but just found out he is sick and has to retire early. To bad Ruth was such a POS and turned on Gehrig out of jealousy. Honestly Gehrig may not surpass Ruth but he is by far a better player and would have set records most would have never been able to touch and at a much faster pace than Ruth was ever capable of. The whole game was altered when Gehrig got sick. Eventually a movie will come out about Gehrig and his playing days. Its going to show Ruth for what he really was. The hobby will ultimately have the final say.


Adam I highly doubt the 34 will be Gehrigs Iconic card. The 33 is his "RC" card and is the first card talked about with Gehrig most times. You ask for a Gehrig card at any dealer table and I would be willing to bet they respond with the 33 Goudey answer of whether they have one or not. Then they respond with secondary cards like the 34. The 34 presents very well but is not anywhere near as appealing as the 33 to me. Then again who knows what buyers with to much money will do to the market. That would be the only reason I could see the 34 passing the 33 Gehrig.
