Ruth cards from the 20's have been undervalued compared to more common mainstream cards for years. Keep in mind several of Ruth's caramel and ice cream cards are rarer than the t206 wagner and plank. Obviously the t206 set is king and most likely always will be. My point is some of these Ruth cards are not easy to find especially in vg or higher. I think the issue is many collectors just don't know they exist. More and more are becoming aware of them and maybe that helps with price increase but still a lot have no idea. I shopped around at the 2019 National for 1920s Ruth cards and was surprised many dealers didn't know much beyond Goudey Ruth's.
