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.
