I can't believe that's a 1, it's beat up a bit but the eye appeal doesn't say 1 at all. When I think of a 1, I'd expect something more like this

Don't you just love the verbage on the back...'One of the biggest siege guns of the New York Yankees'...'Is a left hander, six feet one inch tall and moves the weights at 200 pounds'.
It's a shame Gehrig ended up in a Chicago overcoat just 8 years later...

One of the classic cards and one of my favorites. I bought a PSA 3 a few years ago, at the time the most I'd ever spent on a baseball card.

Amazing card! I wonder why it was graded 1 though. It looks pretty decent and it should have been more?

I'm really stoked about it.. the first time I saw one was in 89 in my neighbors collection.. he kept it with other high dollar cards out in the garage in a gun safe.

That is awesome! Congrats!

Is it wrong that I would pop that sucker out of its PSA case just to feel it in my grubby little hands?
