A CURATED SELECTION OF GREAT CARDS
Featuring the same pose found on his 1928 PC back Exhibit card, this portrait of the legendary Lou Gehrig in the W517 issue is offered in SGC 3 condition. As noted on the flip, it’s hand cut and while not perfect, whoever sliced this one up back in the day did a bang up job. There’s some slight corner wear and unobtrusive creasing along the bottom but the look overall is handsome. The blank back has come through the years in fine shape as well. 57. 1931 W517 #35 Lou Gehrig (HOF - Hand Cut) - SGC VG 3 MINIMUM BID: $500 Fro-Joy Ice Cream of Boston finagled a contract with Babe Ruth in 1928 and issued a set of six cards for a one week period in August of that year, with one card given out with each purchase of an ice cream cone. This PSA 3 shows Ruth in an uncharacteristic fielding pose. Corners and centering are the biggest detractors of this particular card, issued 95 years ago to the day this Auction commenced! 56. 1928 Fro-Joy #6 Babe Ruth (HOF) - PSA VG 3 MINIMUM BID: $500
58. 1933 Goudey #160 Lou Gehrig (HOF) - PSA FR 1.5
The Iron Horse merited two cards in the 1933 Goudey set; both the same batting pose on a light blue background. The #160 card, as seen here, is the tougher of the two by a good margin. With a hodgepodge surface issues such as foxing and edge chipping, this PSA 1.5 is still quite presentable, with fabulous centering. The reverse is in similar shape to the front. MINIMUM BID: $750
Joe DiMaggio cards are hot and in the news again, with some eye-popping recent sales of the Yankee Clipper making headlines even in the mainstream press. An accumulation of minor insults, such as some excess ink on the reverse and foxing on both sides had a hand in the grade here. Corner rounding and centering to the left are seen but the look exceeds the “sum of the parts” if you will. The PSA 3 flip says 1948 but Leafs were issued in 1949, as the Yankees commenced a five year run of sheer, unmatched dominance. 59. 1948 Leaf #1 Joe DiMaggio (HOF) - PSA VG 3 MINIMUM BID: $500
