Wow. Not the point I know but do you remember what you would have paid back then? Some folks like to say Goudey ruth is “overrated” because the pops are high. Easy to forget they’re the best looking cards of the greatest player from one of the most important sets.

Thanks, Carter. I do remember what I paid for the first two. I was a sophomore in college and by necessity watched every penny. I was "rich" from my summer job and popped for $25 each. I was broke by October. The other two were bought at local card shows in the later '70s for; I think, around $50 each. Definitely less than $100. I love the entire set!

I'm on the #144 team.



I'd really like to pick up an early '20's E or Exhibit. But I think that ship has sailed.

+1 Agreed. They're not even especially common. The double printed #144 only has ~2100 graded combined between PSA and SGC. You could add a 0 to the end of that number and still be nowhere close to meeting demand for the card.

Josh, there are a lot more favorites I DON'T own (eg that Collins Ruth above and several others shown) but here are some favorites of mine. I have a bit of a soft spot for the Cuban cards . . .

Wanted to post a couple of favorites that haven't shown up in the thread yet....

- a beat-up (but they usually are) Lections Ruth
- an uncut '33 Sport Kings sheet. Tough crease right through the Babe's face, but hard to get picky and wait for a nicer one!

His 35 Goudey is great and much lower pop than people realize, it’s very difficult to find centered as well.
