If I were to pick based on a type collection, I would put Ruth as 1 and Wagner as 1a with Cobb last. My reasoning is that during both periods of higher volume card issues (1909-11 Tobacco & 1921-24 Candy), Cobb is the only player of the three who appears during both time frames and thus has plenty of cards available to choose from. Ruth, of course, only appears in the Candy Era & Wagner only appears in the Tobacco Era.
Just one way of looking at it........
