Tony if both were equal (centering, registration, color etc) which one you go with?

Hi AJ. If this Ruth were as nice as this particular Mick (corners, centering, color, registration, etc) I would probably change my vote over to the Babe.

In this case though since the Mick is so damn nice, Mick wins in my opinion.

I have a feeling that the Ruth is much nicer than that blurry image conveys.

Brian (My pick no matter what is Ruth...because if Mickey had a 1933 Goudey issued it would have pictured him as a two year old).

Also taking that Mantle all day long, and I'm a Ruth guy too.

That Mantle is a prime example of not all 4s being equal. If you were to list that Mantle at auction, it likely outsells most 5s (unless they also happen to have the same eye appeal for the grade).

+1 Agreed

But Regardless good choice and good "problem" to have. Cannot go wrong either way.
