I'd agree on Jordan, but I'd assumed he was restricting the discussion to baseball players, as baseball was the lone sport represented in his poll.

Zone,
Good thread, I was thinking of starting a thread to find out about how many Babe Ruth collectibles there is out there. Guys wouldn't have to give exact numbers, don't want them searching and counting, just an approximate number, I am sure everyone would be close to the number on collectibles of Ruth they have. All collectibles are included, cards, photos, bats, gloves, balls, watches, posters, etc. I think we all would be surprised how many items there really are. Now that I have read your thread, I would like to see a comparison between Mantle and Ruth. I think two players is enough, to add more players, it may lose its appeal. By the way, my vote is Ruth, more collectibles than you think are out there.

I'd have to say Griffey in a landslide. The number of people who have purchased or opened a pack to get a Griffey rookie likely dwarfs all the names listed on the poll combined. Card collecting will never be as big as it was in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire would be my next choices.

The obvious answer is mickey mantle people have had 62 years to collect his cards. And even though ruth is as big a name or bigger, the price prohibits it as well as the card collecting boom was by people in mickeys age group or just one generation younger.
