I'm going the other direction and saying Ruth. I get that the '51 Mantle is his rookie, but there are way more '51 Mantles than '33 Ruths. As time goes on, Ruth remains one of the top players of all time (if not #1). Mantle is high up there as well, but Ruth is king. And I want an iconic card of his, from an iconic set.

The Mantle is his rookie, but the '52T obviously is more in demand.

Put it to the sniff test - ask 100 people with no baseball knowledge if they've heard of Babe Ruth, and then Mickey Mantle. Guarantee more have heard of the Babe, and that will only increase over time. So long term, give me Ruth.

There’s roughly double the pop count of the 51 Mantle vs #53 Ruth… BUT, if you take into account there’s 4 different 33 Goudey Ruth’s, it’s closer to 3 or 4 times as many Ruths! So I guess it’s just how you look at it.

Those 2 particular cards, put me another vote for Mantle.
