Does look a little flying money-ish, Wizard of Oz, no?

Here's what a 1926-29 Exhibits Gehrig would look like in nicely trimmed silhouette form.

That one cracks me up every time, Brian. I used to have a Darby Chocolates card cut like that (Chief Meyers).

It makes me smile too. The cutter did such a nice job on Lou. In the same group that I picked up Lou I also had Cobb and Ruth Exhibits that were cut similarly, but I liked the Gehrig pose the most, so I let go Ty and Babe.
