I can totally understand Ted's reasoning as it's part of his childhood and I respect that.

In a similar vein I always wonder why the Ruth from this set sells for such high prices. I mean it is a post-career card printed after his death just like the 62 Topps or any other postwar Ruth card. Why does it garner prices as if it was issued during his career? It's an attractive card to me but I don't understand why it is so IMHO overpriced.
