I understand Larry's point about relative scarcity, but to me even if it's 100 or more a Ruth rookie card is still a much bigger deal than a 1/1 60s Mantle issue. Mantle -- great player, all the more so because of the perfect storm that made him an icon. But Ruth is on another level, and it's prewar. It's all a subjective judgment though.
