About as close a match as you could get for 4 cards of same player in two very popular sets. The Cobbs have two very similar designs (red and green portraits), while Ruth has the red and yellow background batting. The #144 of Ruth batting was a double print, while the Cobb portrait with red background is one of T206 sets' most common cards.
I would go with the 4 T206 Cobb cards, because when it comes down to I just like T206 better as a set, and they are 20+ years older than the Goudeys and issued during the deadball era.
On the other hand I sure would like all 4 Ruth cards...
