Thanks- I'll check those out!!!

You could also skip the last 12 cards because those players are already represented in the set, which leaves just 96 cards, and nothing too tough to find. If you really want a Ruth and a Gehrig, you could get 1934 Goudey premium of Ruth, and a 1934 Goudey (pick from two poses) of Gehrig.

Yea, this is still an option for me- would more than likely do '33s of Gehrig/Ruth if I go this route!

No real defined budget, I debated this set for a while (and actually led to posting this thread)- I just know the completist in me would want to do all 4 Ruths if I went that route and I have too many sets I want to do to make that financially feasible!
