Graded NM-MT 8 by SGC. Hall of Famer. This enticing and seldom-encountered 1933 Lou Gehrig collectible hails from the Canadian counterpart to the R319 Goudey baseball issue sold in the United States during that same year. (The scarcer and intriguing specialty version of Goudey's "Big League Gum" issue is easily identifiable by the "World Wide Gum Co., Ltd." branding found on this item's reverse.) A perfectly clear rendering of Gehrig's universally appreciated batting-stride portrayal appears on the obverse of this nicely centered relic, and the card's mildly toned back is likewise clean and boldly printed. Extremely light wear to the corners has not disrupted those all-important aspects' integrity of shape, and the card's overall aesthetic is abundantly satisfying. A low-production and minimally distributed rarity depicting an American baseball hero, in high-quality Near Mint to Mint condition.
