Which card?
Which card would you rather own long term?
I recently had the opportunity to trade Mantle for Ruth. Comps are pretty close. What's your preference?

Mantle, very nice centering, registration, and no roller lines. A real beauty.

Tough one and I COLLECT Ruth the best I can. In this case with centering and it being his RC I’d choose the Mantle however.

Such a tough choice. I'd probably take the Mantle. That is a really great example for the grade.

I would not say it is a no brainer.
Both iconic players and iconic cards. And both have excellent resale value and retain their values. I am a Ruth guy. But in this case I would choose the Mantle for a few reasons 1. I think the Bowman although gone up in value has a lot of upside left compared to the Goudey Ruth. They have gone up so much for so long I do not believe it has the same upside potential 2. The Mantle looks a lot nicer than this particular Ruth.

If you don't want that Mantle I will trade for it.

That Mantle is a superb 4. With that centering it is so appealing. That Ruth is an "every day" 4. If you wanted a similar one later you wouldn't have to pay a premium to get it like you would if you wanted to replace the Mantle. In fact you might well find a lower grade Ruth that looked nicer, seriously doubt that happens with the Mantle.
