How about 35 Goudey 4 in 1? Only 36 cards if you do unique fronts only, and Ruth is in there. Should be fairly inexpensive if you stick to low-mid grade, isn't too difficult to find, and it's full of HOFers. You could get all 36 cards for around $1500 in an average grade of around VG/EX. This is likely the most budget friendly mainstream set that includes Ruth. HOFers of note include H.Greenberg, J.Foxx, M.Ott, D.Dean, T.Lazzeri, and a host of others.
Later you can expand on it and do the master set of 114 front/back combos, but that will get tougher, as several of the specific combos are short prints.
