Default If you had exactly $117,603.60 to spend on a Prewar Ruth/Gehrig item, which one?

The recently closed Memory Lane auction had two items that closed at exactly $117,603.60. A late 1920's game used Babe Ruth bat, and a 1925 Lou Gehrig Exhibit rookie card. If you had to choose between the two, which one would you choose?

Ruth bat:

Gehrig Exhibit rookie card:

Being almost exclusively a card collector, I would chose the Gehrig. The Ruth bat would be interesting, but I am pretty sure they don't have a Card Saver sleeve large enough to fit it.

Let us know what your choice would be, and why?
