I'm also in the camp of the 1933 Goudey #181 (green Ruth) being the best, but I would be thrilled to add any of those to my collection. Great stuff.

Thanks for the kind words. I minimized my collection the past year and have focused on Ruth only, a challenging but fun project and I never get the same feeling from cards of another player as I do “The Babe”

I know what you mean. My VERY humble Ruth collection (consisting of the rough condition w517 and 1935 Goudey that I posted at the very beginning of this thread) are probably the two cards in my collection that I take out and look at most often. There's just something special about a playing days Ruth card.

So true. Whenever I think about next moves, Ruth is always in the mix.
