Ruth, all day and every day. regardless of future projected value or wtvr.

I'd rather have the cash! I can't imagine spending $25K on ANY card.

[Joshwesley]

The Ruth 10-10 times...

Way too many 88 Jordan stickers and rookies for that matter.

Jordan's will always have value.. But the Ruth is iconic and could be one of those cards that makes the meteoric jump in the coming years.


Having said that..... I'll take the 25k in cash!

How is that Jordan a PSA 10 with that centering?

The Jordan, as Ruth is not showing any tongue.

The money.

However, in the spirit of the question----The Babe. Beautiful card.

With the younger age of the new deep pocket big spender collectors however, most of them are going to gravitate to Michael Jordan, especially if they see other fellow young guns buying MJ. JMHO ---Brian Powell

Crazy stuff these days. I am going with the little sticker over a period and great looking Ruth.

I wouldn't bid on either. The Jordan's l/r centering would gnaw at me at that level, and so would the blurriness around Babe's cap, hands, and bat.

Good eye, bro. I never studied either card too closely at the time I responded, but when you get down to the nitty-gritty as you did, you made the right call. Save the boo coo for a gem that has nothing to come against you, and everything in its wake to keep a smile on your face.

Now to get that much boo coo to spend .... ---Brian Powell

The Jordan so I can stick it on my bathroom mirror!

As a collector of the pre-shine era, the Ruth is an easy choice. As to appreciation potential, I continue to believe it's a crapshoot.

Your last sentiment is so true. With what we have seen lately "anything is possible" is the only correct answer.
