Damaged Gehrig Goudey Card

Not sure if much can be done...and even so I would leave it alone. Here is a card I got from a Net54'er a few years back (thanks again Paul). Some might think the card is near death, whereas I see it as merely a flesh wound.

Nice see-through Lou.

Ah memories! I bought a dozen or more American Caramels just like that. Somebody had evidently nailed a bunch of them to a wall and took no care with the removals.

Let's see if we can get the whole team together

All those E90-1s came from me, since the Sixties. And there's more of them out there but not in my hands anymore. I initially had forty-something of them. No Jackson or major scarce ones though. We used to call them the buckshot gang. Then I thought they were tacked onto a wall. Could also be nails. Unless someone wants to pay for forensics the mystery will remain.,,and maybe it more fun that way.

I'd stick it in the spokes of my bike.

Just an observation but if they were pinned up for 50 years right through the center of the card....I'm shocked the cards appear perfectly flat? Based upon the centering of the hole.... at some point the card will have a more convex appearance? (regarding the White Border T's)

The original card looks to have some other kind of damage than just sun damage. Maybe a chemical or something. As to value only an auction would say ....but I could see it being several hundred dollars.

Same type of damage..maybe made to look damaged? Purposely?
