Looking at POP reports for a PSA 5, Brooks has 482, Gibson has 635 and Ryan has 1631.

Personally, I'd go with Brooks, then Ryan, then Gibson. Again as other posters pointed out, I'd look at the centering of the cards. With 5's, there is a wide margin for centering.

Ryan is by far the most iconic of the three players. That said, none of these cards in midgrade is really something I would buy as an investment.

I agree that ryan rookie is the best of those 3. But i totally disagree that a 4.5 is not a good investment. Yes the higher grades will go up more. But certain players will go up no matter what grade. If i had a chance at a 33 goudey ruth in a psa 1 its still a great investment. Or a playball dimaggio is a psa 1. Or a bowman mantle in a 1, or a 54 aaron in a psa 2. Certain players in vintage go up each year. Ryans rookie is one of them

Totally agree with Ray here. I'm not trying to assume Ray is in the same boat as me but we don't all have the funds to buy a high grade Ryan rookie as an investment. However we might be able to afford a midgrade example. And, like Ray said, a midgrade Ryan will still go up in value if not as much as a high grade one.

All three are fun and great to collect, I wouldn’t consider any of the three in mid grade as investment pieces.
