1933 Goudey #160 Lou Gehrig SGC 3.5 VG+
IRON HORSE GOUDEY!!! This imposing SGC 3.5 VG+ 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig offering boasts a seldom seen well-centered Larrupin' Lou batting pose, with the HOF first sacker donning his classic Yankee home pinstripes. The image was originally taken by none other than the iconic photographer Charles M. Conlon, whose unparalleled use of light and shadows, as well as capturing a candid moment in time, was second to none. Emanating exceptional resolution, a rich array of sparkling hues, including a brilliant powder blue background, and no glaring surface flaws. You can literally feel the intensity radiating from Gehrig's stoic facial expression as he loads his mighty lumber in preparation of blasting another tape measure home run towards the furthest confines of Yankee Stadium. Even corner wear and general toning account for the grade of this Gehrig heirloom, issued during an era when the Iron Horse was replacing the Babe as baseball's greatest slugger!
