Leon--First, I said that it is ONE of the most common cards in the set, not the most common card. This is based on my experience collecting the set in the past. While all cards may have originally issued in like quantities my experience tells me that more Ruths were saved and thus more Ruths exist today making it..........one of the most common cards in the set. Even if I never collected the set, common sense would tell me that this was likely the case. If in 1921 a kid found a group of these cards you can be sure that if he didn't keep them all he would most certainly save the Ruth. Over time the Ruths were almost surely saved at a higher rate than most other cards. To call my assertion absurd was----well absurd.
