Ruth issue to buy with a budget of $1500 (seeking experienced advice)

Sorry, I don't frequent this part of the forum too often. Thanks

5k is a little different than 1500. I'd get your favorite 33 Goudey in the best looking 1 you can find for the money.

For me easily the 1932 Sanella Type 3 in the nicest condition you can find for your $1500.

I'd buy an original photo of Ruth that you really like.

This....... Much more bang for the buck on a $1500 budget.

I think your going to need some luck to get a 33 Goudey for $1500 that is not pretty trashed. If you can, that would probably be the way I'd go, but you would probably have more luck looking at later exhibits, Kashins, and Sanella. If you like premiums, you could also go with R309 or W554.

don't listen to Ben!

48 Leaf, any Sanella's are about $250, Berk Ross, 61 Topps, Scoops, Look N See... All non-playing issues but you could probably get most if not all of them in nice condition for that $1500

La Presse

Exhibits and notebooks are within your price range that look great and have upside. Type 1 photos are really good as well.

I've been asked this question a few times over the years, and my answer is always the same: I believe the 1934 Goudey premium has the best bang for the buck among Ruth cards. If I wanted to spend less, I might go with a snapshot. Here's mine ...

The La Presse items are very under-rated in my opinion and also quite beautiful as well.

No way. Foreign Ruth cards are definitely not the way to go. Nope.
