GRADED VG+ 3.5 BY PSA (74694365). HALL OF FAMER, IN HIS ROOKIE CARD APPEARANCE. AN UNDERSTANDABLY COVETED, MUCH SOUGHT-AFTER PERIOD MEMENTO, THIS POSTCARD-SIZED SHOWPIECE IS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE LOU GEHRIG'S ROOKIE CARD: THE ITEM WAS PRODUCED FOR THE IRON HORSE'S FIRST FULL SEASON WITH THE NEW YORK YANKEES. THE PROJECTION OF CONFIDENCE INHERENT IN THE YOUNG SLUGGER'S FOLLOW-THROUGH SEEMS PROPHETICALLY COMPLEMENTED BY THE STOCKINESS OF GEHRIG'S FRAME IN THIS ARCADE CARD'S FASCINATING BLACK-AND-WHITE ILLUSTRATION. BOTH ATTRIBUTES WOULD SERVE HIM WELL DURING THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT, AT THE TIME THIS COLLECTIBLE'S GLIMPSE WAS RECORDED FOR POSTERITY, GEHRIG HAD ONLY 38 CAREER MAJOR LEAGUE AT-BATS TO HIS NAME.
