I think people collect Ruth over any other player including Mantle. Mantle 2nd then Cobb, but from there who is next? I have been out of the modern market for about 5 years, but I think Mike Trout might be next. It is really tough to cross eras because many collect exclusive to one era. You can't go by volume, then it would be 5 modern guys. Prewar guys have the fewest cards in terms of both number and different, but everyone wants Ruth (and Mantle).
