It has been 2 years since I rediscovered the hobby, attended my first National (2015) and learned all about graded cards. 99% of what I have learned about the hobby as an adult has come from these boards – Thank You.
In my childhood, it had always been about buying packs and building a set of baseball cards with the occasional hockey and football sets keeping my attention through the fall/winter. So in early 2015, with a little financial flexibility and the security of graded cards (boy did I have that wrong), I decided to build a set of PSA 1934 Goudeys (Gehrig has always been my idol and he was on almost every card in a manageably sized 96 card set). Gehrig also won the Triple Crown in 1934 to boot! Long story short, I recently completed the set and thought I’d share it here. It's really nothing special, mainly PSA 4-6 with the 2 Gehrig cards lesser, but it's mine :-) It’s currently #20 on the PSA set registry (#10 if you only consider complete sets!). It’s displayed in my office at home along with the 3 wrapper variations and a World Series ticket (the Gas House Gang Cardinals defeated my Tigers in 7 games). I also have a program from Game 6 in Detroit, but I haven’t come up with a good way to display it on the wall. The poster I came across on eBay, it’s modern. The display cases are from Pennzoni – love em’. Anyway, thanks for all your help along the way, and thanks for letting me share. Dave
