I think the Exhibits of the '20's and into the '30's present the best images of the players of the time, and some of them are very scarce to downright rare. Key major league rookies include not only Gehrig, but Al Simmons, Jim Bottomley, Foxx, Grove, Klein, Hack Wilson, Bill Terry and others. Good luck finding the '23-24 Babe Ruth at any cost! And I think all the '31-32 Ruths from the actors set (stated in the Standard Catalog to be the rarest Exhibit Ruth--I've got the PSA Ex 5) belong to members of this board. In addition, the '26-29 Postcard Back portrait card of Gehrig captures his character even better than the '34 Goudey! To me, considering the quality of their photographic reproduction, they are the high end cards of the period.
Highest regards,
Larry
