Jeff Prizneryes Bob, there is obviously a difference between true rarity and created rarity, but my point was that collecting anything can be argued as "dumb" by the non-collector.
If you're talking investment, then yeah, maybe the Ruth figure is a little more crazy than a Goudey Ruth (don't know for sure though as I have no clue about long term value of these figures). If you're talking just about the joy of collecting, then neither is more dumb than the other IMO.
