Damaged Gehrig Goudey Card

[Paul S]

All those E90-1s came from me, since the Sixties. And there's more of them out there but not in my hands anymore. I initially had forty-something of them. No Jackson or major scarce ones though. We used to call them the buckshot gang. Then I thought they were tacked onto a wall. Could also be nails. Unless someone wants to pay for forensics the mystery will remain.,,and maybe it more fun that way.

I'd stick it in the spokes of my bike.

Just an observation but if they were pinned up for 50 years right through the center of the card....I'm shocked the cards appear perfectly flat? Based upon the centering of the hole.... at some point the card will have a more convex appearance? (regarding the White Border T's)

The original card looks to have some other kind of damage than just sun damage. Maybe a chemical or something. As to value only an auction would say ....but I could see it being several hundred dollars.

[LuckyLuke]

Same type of damage..maybe made to look damaged? Purposely?

The color bleed to the back or on the fronts does not look kosher at all on those. Granted, I have zero experience handling the Canadian issue nor have I seen Canadian repros. Those however give me pause.

They certainly look chemically damaged in some way as Leon said. Are they really brittle? They look super fragile.
