I'd have to side with the yellow Ruth. Rarity does tend to make it a bit more costly than the other 3.

Source? Pop report has between 900-1200 of each. I've never heard one is more rare. Yellow has a pop of even higher than red.

I've read this in many publications and assumed it to be true. I'm sure there are different takes. However, I searched and found the first source I that I came across(Justcollect.com) to say this....."The Yellow Ruth (#53) has proven to be the most elusive of the bunch, followed closely by the Red Ruth (#149) that portrays the slugger in the exact same pose".

I certainly don't claim to be the expert here, but have always thought that to be the case. Maybe this is outdated or different compared to more current information.

I have always heard that that was so as well, although I never thought much about it.

Pops for Yellow amd red are 900, green 1k, batting pose 1200.


I'm betting none are more scare. I like 181, but I'm in the minority
