I completely agree. Make the trade. Most of the modern cards you have listed are good but easily replaceable. Only the Ruth rookie has the potential to increase exponentially. I have always thought all of Ruth's cards are severely undervalued. He played in that critical (unfortunate) window when significantly fewer cards were manufactured rendering him grossly under-represented in the industry. It is almost an oddity of the collecting trade that the widely-recognized "greatest player of all time" takes a significant backseat to lesser heralded players with regard to value. Ruth's early cards may (and should) eventually catch up to the other iconic cards in the hobby such as T206 Wagner and Plank.
