1925 Gehrig Rookie Exhibits Card

[Snapolit1]

Nice to see this card stretching its legs a little. With cross overs probably no more than 35 in existence. An important card from one of the greats of all time and scarce. Probably should be worth more than a PSA 8 Topps rookie card of some dude like Robin Yount or Jim Rice, but what the heck do I know.

I completely agree on the Gehrig. I think you mean to compare to a PSA 10 Yount or Rice though. Those two cards in an 8 are only worth 100-200 bucks.

[Snapolit1]

Ah, yes meant to say 10. But was trying to make a ridiculous point in any event. I could probably buy every Gehrig rookie Exhibit in existence for what some of these 10s pull down.

Iguess the pop reports on that card are far from right, as PSA shows 1 graded and SGC shows none graded, yet I have 1. Pop reports on this card are worthless.

[Snapolit1]

The last time I checked PSA and SGC had about 20 each, maybe 22. Not sure what you are looking at.

I recently purchased a SGC 10 on the Exhibit Gehrig Rookie--I am delighted to finally have this card---you don't see them too often---I also feel this card is ready for a big boast! Time will tell---Just happy I have mine.

Hey Guys, Just wanted to know what you think of the 1925 Exhibit Gehrig rookie? Do you think it is time to sell? I have one PSA 5 and with the recent auction showing 30K plus, may be good time. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks Rhino

Hello new poster,
Yes, its a good time. There is a PSA 3 currently in auction and its at 44k, with 17 days left.
Partial Context from Auction Description:

Indeed, this rather scarce Gehrig gem virtually seemed to "slip through the cracks" until it finally made some extremely loud noise when an SGC 30/2 example fetched approximately $36K in an auction earlier this year. It now certainly appears that the Gehrig 1925 Exhibit rookie issue is ready to place its indelible mark on the hobby along with other inaugural issues, justifying why ##### is proud to present a superb PSA 3 example of this highly coveted keepsake. Atypical versus other star rookie cards, this inaugural Gehrig marvel is one of only 49 TOTAL specimens FOR ALL GRADES listed on the COMBINED PSA & SGC census reports; a truly sparse number compared to other high-end rookie cards. As an example, there are 32 PSA 8 1952 Topps Mantles that are now exceeding $500,000 in value, and one would expect that Lou Gehrig's rookie card in ANY GRADE should sell for at least "half" that amount considering there are only 17 additional examples for all grades versus the '52 Topps PSA 8 Mantle subject.

Sorry for delay, just learning to navigate. So 45k now brings it to 60k conservatively. A psa5 in the 75k range...ish. Yes its far from the $$$ I paid in '94. Man, or do I sit on it a year and wait for one of these psycho spoiled new millennium generation investors to pay me ten ZILLION dollars.

[Rhino]

Oh, By the way. Thanks for the auction info.

The PSA 3 Gehrig in Memory Lane auction is at 53K with the juice----there seems to be a lot of interest in the Gehrig the last few months---I think it is really shooting up---this auction should set the standard---I think all grades will be in high demand at next years National.

Here is mine from 2 1/2 years ago that sold in a Goodwin auction. What do you think it would bring today? Front was very nice, back had pretty neat period ink writing....

From watching the price is right for many years back in the 80s, I will say a dollar higher than what your guess was as I feel you under estimate it!
