All things (e.g. current value) being equal, I would go with Ruth. In 100+ years, I think he’ll continue to transcend baseball more than any other player. Plus the card shown of the lot is the only image of an actual baseball action (pitching), it notes the Boston Red Sox (a team that defines baseball and a great reference point for this era), and is of Ruth in his Sox uniform which is quite scarce. Happy New Year!

Interesting thread, Ryan. I chose the Just So - Cy Young card, mostly because card rarity turns me on. But, if you had stated that the 1916 Ruth card has a rare back, such as Mall Theatre or Holmes-to-Homes Bakery (a Wash., DC, company) without paper loss on the back, I would have chosen the Ruth card.

Ruth followed by the Jackson for me though it was a tough call. Ruth is just baseball Americana to me.
