Perhaps that is true, Bob, but I am leery of dumping a large sum of money into any card with hundreds of thousands of raw examples that could easily erode its value with newly slabbed specimens...and you know that this result will spawn a rush of submittals to PSA of the 1988 stickers. The Ruth is a classic card from a classic set that is not likely to see a pop increase.
Personally, I'd not buy either card. I've always believed in buying rarity, not slabs. The Jordan is common; the Ruth is tougher but still a widely available mainstream card. I'd rather have a nice midgrade Ruth that presents well and spend the other $20,000+ on other cards.
