Top 3 cards of Ruth, Cobb, and Shoeless Joe

[maximus35]

What would you guys say are top 3 cards in highest demand of Ruth, Cobb, and Shoeless Joe? Besides Baltimore News and Ruth Rookies, Old Mill Joe Jax, and Cobb back red portrait, what would you guys say are the top 3 cards in highest demand of each of these players?

ruth...they're all hot...especially early caramels/exhibits/mid 20's caramels/goudeys

cobb...t206/rare postcards/CJ of course

JJ...e90-1/CJ are king

[sforaker]

Ruth - Goudeys

Cobb - CJs and T206s

JJ - CJs

On Cobb, I agree that it is the Cracker Jacks (14,15), any of several rare postcards, and the W600. I do think that the t-227, green t206, and t-3 deserve a mention.

Ruth- his rookie, the Baltimore Sun, and the goudeys (though there are other more rare and expensive cards from his time in Boston, the goudeys have to be mentioned.) if only Cracker Jack had included him!

i don't consider the OM JJ as its out of reach of most!

And of course the M101-6 is now hot since I sold mine 2 years ago!!!!

Pete, i edited when I read the Baltimore news, the rookie, and jj old mill were not options. I am sorry about your loss.

[ullmandds]

And speaking if m101-6 ruth...have there even been many recent sales????

[Leon]

For Ruth, it's not the most expensive but certainly is one of his most desired cards. And for Cobby, maybe a T206 RED......and for Joe J....maybe a CJ.

Ruth:

1933 Goudeys of course
1933 Sport Kings
1921 Frederick Foto definately deserves a mention

Ty Cobb:

e101
Cracker Jack
Maybe E120 or 1921 Exhibits?

Shoeless Joe:

E90-1
Cracker Jack
m101-4 or m101-5????

Just my opinions.

I'm going with the budget versions of the cards because I think most chase these cards knowing others are way too expensive:

Ruth:
Kashin

Cobb:
E121

Jax:
W514 strip

You could probably get a WG card of Jax that might look a little better than the W514 for a bit less money.

I'll guess these 3 (not in any specific order) for each...

Cobb:
1914 CJ
W600
1907 Postcards

Ruth:
1917 Boston Store / Collins McCarthy
1915 Red Sox Team Postcard
Frederick Foto

Jackson:
1914 CJ
E-90
M-101 (ad back)
