Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among more than 1,100 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just seven examples have been graded higher. Overwhelming purity of color and sharpness of image distinguish this lush and memorable "Iron Horse" collectible. Number 92 of Lou Gehrig is one of the most widely coveted cards in the revered 1933 Goudey issue, and the attributes that make it so are realized marvelously in this exemplary specimen. Extraordinarily clean blue and a textured batter's box act as backgrounding for the form and shadow of the great player. Even Gehrig's gentle smile is easily discernible on this remarkable cardfront, and his impossibly fine Yankee pinstripes are bold and fully resolved. The card's green-and-white cardback displays bright, precise inking of each character. Near Mint to Mint condition, with especially praiseworthy visual appeal.
