The card collector's view

Gehrig's most chased early cards are the 1925 Exhibits and 1933 Goudey #92 — pre-war scarcities that anchor any vintage Yankees collection but command premiums. The 1934 Goudey, 1934-36 Diamond Stars, and 1939 Play Ball releases offer more accessible vintage pieces. For modern collectors, Topps and Upper Deck retrospective sets featuring Yankees legends, plus jersey-relic cards from Hall of Fame releases, provide reachable entry points to Iron Horse memorabilia.

About Lou Gehrig at FreshDCards

2,130 consecutive games. Lou Gehrig played first base for the Yankees from 1923 to 1939 and didn't miss a day for fourteen straight seasons. Batting cleanup behind Babe Ruth on Murderers' Row, the Iron Horse hit .340 lifetime with 493 home runs and 1,995 RBIs — including 184 in 1931, an AL single-season record that still stands. Six World Series rings. Two MVPs. A 1934 Triple Crown. Then his farewell speech in 1939, when ALS forced him from the game he refused to leave.
