but I'd give the nod to Gehrig, for reasons stated by others. They don't share alot of issues, but Gehrig's cards are early in his career, and Cobb's at the end. From a collector's standpoint, Cobb has sooooo many cards issued prior to the 20's that finding one to suit your collection is rather easy, subject to your finances. Gehrig's cards are less available. IMO, collectors are far more interested in an early Gehrig card, from the Yankee dynasty period no less, than they are in a late Ty Cobb card from when he was old and not even a Tiger (eg. the '27-'28 issues). I believe the market would bear that out as well.
