I'm going with the budget versions of the cards because I think most chase these cards knowing others are way too expensive:

Ruth:
Kashin

Cobb:
E121

Jax:
W514 strip

You could probably get a WG card of Jax that might look a little better than the W514 for a bit less money.

That's true. I don't collect the game cards so I was thinking more along the lines of sets, but the game is a set too.

I personally like the d304 Cobb. They also seem to be selling well lately.

As someone who just picked up a beautiful SGC 20 D304 General Baking Cobb, I could not agree more.

Yes, that card has been on my want list.
I am surprised nobody mentioned Joe Jax collins mccarthy.

A Ruth card, for sheer eye appeal, the 1926 Exhibit pose is one heck of a card. Classic and just oozes vinatge. Beautiful.

D304 Cobby was the first card used for a Net54baseball T shirt...for a reason. I still think I like the T205 a bit better but I really like the D304s...

Demand is a bit determinant on price. Everyone wants a Ruth Rookie, and they aren't particularly rare, but they are in huge demand at a certain price and not as much at another. Maybe the better question is posed with price "not" determinant and price determinant? And for some eye candy the D304s I used to own, with Cobby...the bottom Rucker made it back into the current collection...

My apology. Excluding the ‘14 and ‘16 Ruth rookie cards, I would say the ‘15 postcard, ‘17 CM/BS issues and the ‘21 E121 Boston Pitching Pose. I choose the 1921 E121 over the Frederick Foto because its ultra-desirable and somewhat scarce (as opposed to Ruth Goudey’s). The FF Ruth is so rare, it falls in the category of “out of sight, out of mind”. Yet, it is a great card.

So many other spectacular Ruth scarcities including his 1928/29 Star Player Candy issues; 1921 National Caramel, 1933 Uncle Jacks and his 1920 M101-6 Felix Mendelssohn Yankees issue. FYI, one of Ruth’s RAREST cards just might be his 1917-1919 M101-6 Felix Mendelssohn BOSTON version. I have seen only ONE surface in the past 10+ years, and know of only one other example.

E122/e220 are super tough.

So true Peter. I can’t seem to fill that Ruth E122 void in my collection.

I adore my small Ruth collection, but somehow the m101-6 Ruth that I have seems to attract my eye more than the others every time. It’s large and in charge!

I guess I would squeeze the 1910 Clement Brothers Ty Cobb somewhere on this list. Any issue of one of these guys with a combined pop of 5 or less definitely has more demand than supply.

And your Steel PC should be at the top of the Cobb list.

Most desirable is a relative term. I think this is my 3rd (successive) one of these in my collection. When a nice one comes up the competition is always there, unfortunately. This is a 4 but my previous 2.5 above was easily as nice and a bit better centered. Glad a board member has it now.

I do love this card, and I appreciate you selling it, Leon. I see a perfect 5-7 in your future someday.
