As often as Gehrig and Ruth were paired together for tours and publicity shots I'd think there's almost as many Gehrigs out there as there are Ruths. I would think Ruth signed more but I'd think that more people would have held onto their Gehrigs, evening out the numbers. I bet a kid got Ruth every day and lost or traded half of them. But after Gehrig died so early I would think if you had him, you held onto him. Ruth wouldn't die for 8 more years.
