Gehrig>Ruth.
His stoic working man values have always appealed to me more than the Ruth lifestyle. My first pre war card as a kid was a 33 Goudey Gehrig #92, I still have that card today, I only wish I would have realized how special the 34 Goudey #37 card is and picked one up before the cost exceeded that of selling a kidney on the human organ black market.
