As others have said, a nice Goudey Ruth would be a good investment. However, at 14 yrs old I would probably diversify a bit and not have all of my eggs in one basket (assuming the 5k is the budget.) But the main thing would be to take your time and know what you are buying. AND don't just rely on a slabbed card. Make sure it meets the characteristics of others in the set. And remember, the hunt can be a LOT of the fun.

For one Ruth, I would go with whichever 33 Goudey you like the best. It's hard to imagine a more classic baseball card.
