I don't disagree Peter but in today's market do you buy a 21 Exhibits Ruth or a 1907 Dietsche Cobb rookie for the same price? I'll go with the Cobb, but my decision might be clouded because I already have the Ruth.

Not really a great comparison, I don't think, because one is a rookie card?

I was comparing dollar amounts, early Ruth's are outside of my price range and while the Ruth exhibits is one of my favorite cards I'd have to choose the Cobb rookie.

Well like you I have the Ruth, but even leaving that aside I might agree but only because it was Cobb's rookie card. In general, though, just as an investment proposition, I would much rather spend equivalent dollars on Ruth than Cobb even at today's prices.

Mays has always seemed underrated if you're comparing his card prices to Mantle's, but not if you compare him to the other great players of the 50s and 60s, so it's not Mays whose prices were "wrong" all this time. It was just Mantle.

That’s a good point…maybe Mantle is the outlier, not the “underrated” guys. Other than Mantle and maybe Ruth, who are the underrated compared to?
