Ruth has so many earlier and rarer cards than his Goudey cards it is so comical that Beckett would do such a thing.
Maybe it was done as a way of making them more valuable because they are more common and more transactions could be done with them.
As opposed to the better earlier cards where they weren't sold as often because they are more scarce.
Same thing with 1949 leaf Jackie Robinson being proclaimed as his rookie card, which it isn't, and given a huge premium as a result. He has earlier, rarer, and more attractive cards than the Leaf.
