I'll agree with Ryan as well. Ryan is more current for newcomers, and his cards span a variety of price ranges to accommodate all collectors. Not true with Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Mantle, ect. While we may want those cards, our budgets may not allow it.

I would say Mantle. I know a bunch of collectors that try and collect every Topps Mantle card.

I don't think there is any question--it's hands down Mickey Mantle.

I'd say Mickey Mantle too. There's plenty of his cards to go around. It still takes a special buyer to afford to seriously collect ruth cards.

Default Ruth
Bra,

It's not close. It's Babe Ruth. Normal people have no idea who any of those people are.

Mantle for sure. Way more available. Maybe not as desirable. Ruth was the better player.

I'm guessing Mickey Mantle. Of course, your poll completely ignores the last 30 + years of baseball. Ken Griffey Jr, for example, is collected by a lot of people.
