So who knows?

This was my sentiment. Obviously T206 is...well T206 and people are coocoo for T206!!!!! Then theres the subpopulation...like myself...who prefers rare early issues.
I think the ruth has more short term room. There was a pwcc sale recently...possibly an outlier...near 9K I believe...and not a very nice one.
These days it seems people just wish a card to be worth a certain price...and...POOF...it becomes reality?
Yes the cobb is a beautiful, green portrait...and one of the tougher cobb t206...but still pretty damn common.
The ruth is early...he's svelte...young...full action photo with lots of detail. A unique pose. I think it's become a must have for more serious ruth collectors. Based on pop of supposedly around 200...I'd guess lots of resubmits.
Both great cards no doubt! I want both!
