Great cards, great person.

I think that Gehrig is in that upper echelon of players both on and off the field plus in the hobby. I wonder how many more RBIs and higher average he would have if sacrifice flies were an official stat back then. Being the first athlete on a Wheaties box is a big deal, thanks for that tidbit Darren!

[@returntocollecting]

100% agree Sammy! World class athlete and world class person! Glad you enjoyed!

Don’t forget he and Ruth are Eskimo Brothers when the Bambino was left alone with Lou’s wife on a boat during a barnstorming trip.

[@returntocollecting]

To quote Brad, "Allegedly."

Darren, what a sweet pair of Gehrig cards that compliment each other very well, IMHO! 🤯🤯 I think Gehrig still gets over-shadowed by Ruth to some degree! Gehrig's baseball accomplishments are truly outrageous! Take care, my collecting brother! 😊👊

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

[@blixcards]

Whew! Getting down to the nitty gritty here. Class act and unbelievable talent. If I was casually asked who I thought the best ever was, I would likely immediately say Gehrig or Ted Williams. Beautiful cards as always, Darren!

[@returntocollecting]

Getting close to the end!! Glad you're enjoying the series! I agree, Gehrig was a real class act and an incredible player. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful cards & love the choice for the 7th spot. My favorite baseball movie is Pride of the Yankees. A super stretch goal of mine for the national is a 34 Butterfinger. Awesome video as always, Darren. Have an fantastic weekend, my friend.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Doug! The 34 Butterfinger is a great card! Glad you enjoyed!

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks Jason! He was such an incredible player and person! Glad you enjoyed!

What an amazing person as well as player. They 100% don't make them like they used to! Cards are incredible, would be the centerpiece of most collections!

Thanks Jeff! 100% agree! Glad you enjoyed!

[@TankeeFan]

On and off the field - a great man and an amazing combination of talent, stamina and class. Beautiful cards - loved his “farewell address” 🥲

[@returntocollecting]

Glad you enjoyed! He was the best! Such a sad end to an amazing story.
