Lot # 655: 1928 F50 Yuengling's Ice Cream #26 Lou Gehrig SGC VG 40

Graded VG 40 by SGC. Mid-grade example of one Lou Gehrig's most striking and desirable cards. The set is identical in design to E210 York Caramels, Tharp's Ice Cream, and W502, but the reverse of each card features advertising for Yuengling’s Ice Cream. The reverse informs kids that a prize will be given for each Babe Ruth card turned in and that "a gallon of Yuengling's ice cream will be delivered in exchange for a complete set of sixty cards." The offered card has superb image quality, light corner wear, minor toning on front, and centering toward the left. The reverse displays bold black text. Extremely rare and classic card of Gehrig dating from the peak of his powers in the 1920s.
