High end koufax RC or low grade Ruth

I would take the Ruth in a heartbeat. I know this line of thinking is heretical among many collectors, but the genuine differences between a PSA 6 and a PSA 9 are so tiny that a loupe may be needed to even notice them. This tells me that 90%+ of the value is for things you can't really see other than the flip itself. Meanwhile 99% of the value of that Ruth is because it's a 1917 Babe Ruth.

+1--the Ruth, hands down, over time.

Good luck on your choice,
