Lot # 8: 1934 R320 Goudey #37 Lou Gehrig PSA NM-MT 8

Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Only two examples graded higher by PSA out of 1,143 cards evaluated to date. Extremely attractive high-grade example of one of the most popular Lou Gehrig cards. This card is recognized as one of the most classic of all 1930s bubble-gum cards. The 1934 Goudey #37 features Gehrig's portrait and is perhaps the finest likeness of him to ever appear on any card. Gehrig was the spokesman for the 1934 Goudey set, appearing on wrappers, in advertisements, and on posters for the gum company. The 1934 Goudey "Lou Gehrig says..." series features an additional Gehrig portrait on the front and his words on the reverse. It is easy to see why many consider this to be the ultimate Lou Gehrig card. This is a stunning example. Bright and clean, front and back, with perfect colors, flawless registration, and four strong corners with just a hint of wear at the very tips. The reverse of the card is extremely clean with bold green text. Striking example of one of Gehrig's most desirable cards, the key card from this classic 1930s bubble-gum card series.
