This one has a happy ending, gang. Now the 55 Mays that I attempted a crossover on is a story for another time/forum.

Also, to clarify, this purchase wasn't for profit ("gamble" was the wrong term in the title). We lost an aunt to ALS many years ago, so this card has a special place in our hearts and goes into the permanent collection.

Thanks everyone for your views on this. And, clearly, a lot of folks love the 34 yellow background. Maybe someday...

Great card, Jason. Looks even better graded! Gehrig was a true hero.

Nice card, congrats! You probably saved a few hundred bucks by taking a chance and buying it raw. Nicely done.

I've always been a fan of that card myself, and prefer it to the yellow 34. Personally I think it's a better looking card. Not trying to start a debate but I'm curious as to why everyone else seems to prefer the 34.
