Great thread. I would imagine if you have 4 Ruth poses, they would sell for about double to triple what the Cobb sells for in similar condition. The 1933 Goudey is probably a good benchmark. Obviously, rare backs would sell for similar multiples as you see with the T206 Cobb.
Assuming the card would be considered his rookie, and having a colored card with Ruth as a Pitcher for the Red Sox would create a card in high demand. Now that I think of it, you might have a similar dynamic happening with the T206 Ruth that you see with the 1952 Mantle. Despite the huge number of cards available, the demand from the non-T206 collecting public might drive the price of the card to obscene levels.
