I don't think this is a stretch by any means, but Mantle IS the Ruth of the post war era. As American as apple pie. We will eventually approach the point in time, where no one buying Mantle cards/memorabilia/autos will have been alive to see him play, and he will still sell like crazy.

That being said, I hope to own a singular Ruth one day. His Sanella issue is still decently priced, but I would love something from the 1920's of his. Maybe one day, after I'm able to afford a home!
Agree they are in a class of their own. Maybe Jackie as a cultural icon comes close. Have you considered a Kashin Ruth, I believe they are still relatively affordable.

Looks like a few big collectors think the market is topping.

There was a time when hardly any Ruths got listed in the BST. Now, it's not that rare.

Or… someone is nearing retirement or looking to pay for kids education or looking for a house for themselves or their children I could think of tons of reasons why people would sell.

A Kashin Ruth is actually one of the cards I've considered. Love his pose on that issue. I'm not sure what an A or 1 would go for though. I'd wager a touch above 1.5K?

I’ve been sitting back waiting on this and have a few targets I’m eagerly awaiting. Fingers crossed.

Let me know if anything you’ll be pursuing. I never want to drive things up on fellow collectors. I have 3-4 cards I’m
considering only 1-2 possible however.

This one if I recall was about 4K earlier this year so I would think you're on target for an A or 1.
