Lou Gehrig underrated?

[WA_HOF_rookie]

Gehrig is actually the whole reason I got back into cards. When Covid hit, I was in the middle of my 356th game of MLB the Show 2020 and Gehrig was my star 1st baseman.

I went to eBay to see if there were even Gehrig cards available. I saw how expensive they were and bought three Mattingly rookies instead.

Not one to give up though, I sold three watches and bought this Gehrig card. I probably (most definitely) overpaid for it not knowing what I was buying, but I smile EVERY time I look at this card, so in the end it was worth every penny.

Fantastic player, but a more remarkable man.

Whatever makes you happy! I see the Tris Speaker behind Gehrig. I prefer Speaker over Lou. That is a card on my want list.

Wow, great eyes! Yep, I bought a few low grade T201 cards to get my other favorite players. The display on my desk is T201 Speaker, Lajoie and the Gehrig.

I recently saw this listing on ebay which was sold (not mine): Link, and had the W590 photo of Gehrig. I thought it was pretty neat.
