1930 Lou Gehrig Cracker Jack Pin, PSA EX 5. Key to the Set.

The undisputed key to the celebrated 1930 Cracker Jack pin set, Lou Gehrig is the most sought-after and important player in one of the hobby's most beloved pre-war advertising issues. Originally distributed inside packages of Cracker Jack, these colorful pins have become iconic collectibles, prized for their nostalgic appeal and remarkable scarcity.

Offered here is a beautiful PSA EX 5 example featuring a vibrant portrait of the legendary New York Yankees Hall of Famer. With only 117 examples graded by PSA across all grades, Gehrig remains one of the toughest and most desirable pins from the era.

Just as importantly, the metal reverse is clean and rust-free, a significant attribute for this issue, as the steel backs are notoriously susceptible to corrosion. Combining the premier player in the set with outstanding eye appeal and excellent preservation, this is a terrific example of one of the defining baseball advertising pins of the 1930s.
