I couldn't agree more. If that card were released in a "standard size," guys would go ga-ga over it. Never mind that everyone adores the enormous T3 and the tiny t206. The 21 Exhibits and the exhibits series of champions are also amazing, and nicer than ANY standard cards released of Ruth prior to the Goudeys. Here is a side by side of a standard card and the exhibit with the same image. Bigger IS better. And since Cobb is included in this thread, I will include him too. The beauty of the image is multiplied 100x over on an exhibit or a postcard. And it's not like these "standard" cards had stat or bio-backs, so that distinction wouldn't fly either.
