Description:
This is a modern collectible baseball card from the Topps Collectors' Series featuring Lou Gehrig, an iconic Hall of Fame player for the New York Yankees. The card is designed with a retro frame and black-and-white photograph and was produced as part of a commemorative set, not during Lou Gehrig's playing years. The card highlights him as an 'All-Time Record Holder.' The design style and production value indicate it is a specialty issue, likely from the late 1970s to 1980s, appealing primarily to collectors of sports memorabilia.
