The 1933 Delong Gum issue was one of the first, and most popular, gum card issues,  Produced by the Delong Gum Co, this issue was one of several popular candy and gum-related sets to emanate from the Boston area in the early 1930s.  The colorful cards remain popular among collectors today, the 24-card set not prohibitive to assemble but nonetheless challenging.

One of the primary reasons for the challenge is the unquestionable key to the set, card #7 of Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig.  This example, graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, is exceptionally well-centered for the image with a clean surface, rich color, and lightly-rounded corners consistent with the grade.  Attractive examples of this card are few and far between, and we are thrilled to feature an example as attractive as this.
