Graded VG 3 by SGC. "Murderer's Row" alum Lou Gehrig strides into an unfortunate pitch on the offered 1933 World Wide Gum #55 example. This Canadian Goudey parallel is an inspired choice for pre-war specialists as the New York Yankees slugger is properly centered with moderate, but not excessive corner wear and crisp edges. Despite limited foxing, the surface is otherwise crease-free with a clean bilingual green text advertising back. Only 46 total examples of this Goudey parallel have been judged by SGC. Compare that to the 1,170 combined total from Gehrig's two 1933 Goudey poses and the value of this Canadian classic becomes much more evident. Opening Bid $1,000.
