With only six examples ranked above this 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig card, the new owner will definitely be able to include themselves among the elites of the hobby! A close inspection of the offered pasteboard should convince even the most sagacious enthusiast that this specimen should be given extreme reverence as it approaches the limits of its assessment. Nicely centered with just the slightest preference for the east edge, while four upper-shelf points of distinction surround and contain the unmistakably clean and crisp artwork of "The Iron Horse", perfectly preserved within the encapsulating PSA 8 holder. The color of this #92 Gehrig is vivid and precisely delivers Lou's likeness through the detail of his Yankee pinstripes as well as the peachy flesh tones of his face. The robins-egg blue background and Big League banner at the bottom bursts forth with subtle strength. The reverse is pleasingly printed with some stray print markings but no bleeding from the front. A stellar card of this Yankee immortal, offered in exceptionally high end NM/MT condition.
