Lou Gehrig underrated?

[Jcosta19]

I personally like the 34 Goudey yellow the best but still need one myself.

Here are two fun ones:



1964 Penafiel. A Mexican soda set. Really rare and usually found thrashed from album removal.



Coney Island Arcade. Made for the arcade in the 1950s-early 1970s for use in old card machines, probably Mutoscopes based on the size. I've only seen two of them, this one and a blue tint version on page 43 of the book Cowboy Hero Arcade Cards.

During one of those mid-twenties seasons, Gehrig produced 302 runs in 155 games, using the formula of total runs + rbi - home runs. That's nearly two runs per game! Nobody else has even come close to that production over the course of a single season - not even Ruth.

Define Close.

Hack Wilson - 1930: 281
Hank Greenberg -1937: 281

Best two seasons besides Gehrig I could think of, both roughly 7% lower.

A member on this site has a Wheaties single serving of Gehrig. That was a cool card. It is post #16 in the thread below:

This is from the 1955 Standard School of Broadcast book of Famous Americans.

How can you not love Gehrig in any color.

I agree that Lou is underrated as far as prewar stars go. I have three of his cards, the '34 #37 being one of my favorite cards all time.
