But there is no diubt the important of Ruth in the promotion of the 33 Goudey Set and why its such a highly collected set.

The set with the 1909-11 T206 and 1952 Topps are probably the most collectable and sought after; and the reasons why are obviously but will his 4 Goudey's continue to rise as big as is legend and the man himself did. Babe Ruth changed baseball, and the availability of 4 cards within 1 set (#53 being the most desirable) allows for all collectors to enjoy the chase of the Greaterst of All Time.

You had me until you got to the "most desirable". It's probably debatable....

Yep. My favorite is #144. Even though it's a DP, to me, that card IS Babe Ruth.

144 is the best imo as well.

I've always thought #149 was a bit underrated, at least in comparison to #53.

No doubt #144 is a classic card.

#181 here, long as we're voting.
