My advice is to get a Ruth card during his playing days with an image you love. The card should have nice eye appeal, and ideally have a number grade (and not Authentic or 1/Poor). Here are some of my suggestions, but in higher grades, in no particular order. I would say you should probably be able to get these cards in grades 2-3 for ~$1500 although I haven't checked on recent prices.
