Default York

I don't own one of the prized exhibits, but I have a pair of Type 2 York Caramel Lou Gehrig cards.
Often attributed to 1927, there is a solid argument to these actually being issued in 1928.
Could be the first standard sized "baseball card" for Lou.

*That is for purists who only collect *that * definition of a card, not the postcard sized Exhbits.

(I would absolutely agree that a card issued in 1925 should fetch more than a 1927 or 1928 though, and it does!)

I think the York Caramel has a big upside, it's pretty rare itself.
I guess the exhibit has far surpassed my budget , so it's my hope anyway!
