Can anyone put the four Ruths in order in terms of relative scarcity and/or value discrepancies?
Same question on the Gehrigs - is one more sought after than the other?
Thanks

I thought 144 was double printed.

Agreed!
I think the red and yellow are tougher than the double printed batting pose. And I wasn't aware of inferior stock used on the yellow background pose either?

If there are twice as many 144s, how can 149 be easier?

Agreed! It seems someone has changed their opinion!
With the Gehrig, value is somewhat similar in the lower grades, with the #160 getting a small premium. In NM or better, the #160 appears to be a bit tougher than the #92, and the gap widens in price.
For the Babe:
53
149
144
181
the 144 Ruth is DP, but is tougher to find in high grade than the 181.
