Can't beat the horizontal Matty throwing pose...it is a favorite of mine, and an all-time vintage classic. And nice deep colors on your lower condition example!

Nice pickup, Jeffrey, i was bidding on that one but missed the ending! You got a good deal I thought.

I did pick this up (finally!!) to complete my Eastern Exhibit set. Whew. I passed on several that were graded 3-4 but had creases, but that was some years ago I before the explosion in prices and have been kicking myself. I paid more for this one (actually went for pretty much what i thought i would have to pay), but the front is way nicer and fits my set better than a creased one. It does have a tape/slight loss on the back that was fine and accounted for the grade. And, well, it’s the Babe! Only 21 graded according to the description.

Congrats on the nice pick ups Jeff & Paul, great looking cards.

Congrats Paul. I was one of the underbidders but believe it or not I passed going higher to get the Gehrig instead
Glad you got it and completed your set
