The more i think about it, the Ruth bat is the clear winner here. I shied away at first because I collect memorabilia extensively but mostly jerseys, and hockey jerseys at that. I had collected hockey sticks too, but those were hard to display and store, so I kept that at a minimum. I viewed a bat similarly, and would prefer a Ruth jersey, but the bat’s provenance seems solid and it is a piece of history. I would choose that. The Doyle is still very tempting, but since he wasnt a great player and it is an error card, I can see the argument against it. As a collector, the last thing I would choose is RE, based on the premise that the money is “burning a hole” or is superflous. If you have that much money, another $1.3mm in RE doesn’t do much of anything.
