Jay MillerBarry--There is no comparison between the number of Baltimore News Ruth cards and the M101-4/5 Ruth cards. The latter is as common as any card in the set(read-not all that rare); the Baltimore News Ruth is very rare with only a handful of copies known. The real question in value is not why the Baltimore News Ruth sells only at 2 1/2 times the price of an M101-4/5 Ruth, but rather why it doesn't sell at 10x the price or more. I'm not saying that the Baltimore News Ruth should be more expensive; I'm saying that the M101-4/5 Ruth is a card that has been overhyped by the auction houses with the result that some collectors with more money than sense have bid the card up to the moon.
