1934 Gehrig Goudey 61 New Member Intro

[marvymelvin]

Thanks Bill, for your wealth of information. VCP and Card Target look like great resources. I will definitely post some better pictures once the card arrives. Shall I crack it out of the case to do so or can you analyze it while in the case? Also, while I am waiting delivery, what are members thoughts about the card at first glance??

So you pulled the trigger?

[marvymelvin]

Yes I did pull the trigger. I am not so concerned about the condition as I like the card, as long it is legit, not trimmed altered, switched slab etc.

Thanks for the welcome Barry. There seems to be a lot of friendly people on here. I have some neat stories to share and look forward to adding to my collection. So far I have not received an opinion on the 1934 Goudey Gehrig #61 I recently bought. What do you think?

Also, I am looking for the following right now:

Sweet Caporal Yankees pins
1949 Leaf DiMaggio (Joe that is)
T206 Hal Chase both blue and pink background portraits
1952 Bowman Mantle
Fatima Yankees (Americans) team card/photo

Your '34 Goudey Gehrig purchase was fine and in line with current sales assuming you paid just a little less than the listed price. Except for the bottom border it's really nice. The fact that the bit of paper damage is mostly confined outside of the photo (in the border) makes it a nicer pick up than if the picture had issues itself. Cards slanting in their holder is fairly common.

I'm sorry, Brad, I forgot to comment on the card itself. I agree it's a nice looking Gehrig. Looking at the prices from Card Target, it's within the normal price variance.

Don't crack the card out when you get it, that is, unless you're completely happy with it. Once you crack it out, there's no returning it. Ebay would state the package was no longer in the same condition, and they'd side with the seller. If you have any questions, scan it, and show us. But I didn't see anything that raised any concerns from the picture you provided.

If you have any other questions, feel free to message me privately. I'm always happy to help.

Have a great Sunday evening!

Bill
