Default My list
1916 Rookie (Many options mostly low supply, though rarely trade hands)
1917 2nd year (again some options - low supply and rarely available)
1921 Exhibit
1925 Champion Exhibit
1933 Goudey #144
1933 Goudey #53

Those are the ones that stood out in my mind without much thought, so I'll leave it to others to expand.

You def need to grab one each of the "Red" and the "Blue" Baltimore News cards.

*Kidding...I've heard there are like 10 combined in existence and they trade in the millions if/when one pops up.

Default Top Ruth Cards
You can add Ruth’s scarce Honey Boy & Neilson’s Chocolate (Type 1 & 2) subjects to that list. Both are Canadian issues.

Here is my top 10:

1. 1914 Baltimore News
2. 1916 M101
3. 1917 Collins McCarthy
4. E121 Pitching
5. E121 Holding Ball
6. 1932 U.S. Caramel
7. 1933 Sport Kings
8-11. 1933 Goudey Ruth’s

These are not necessarily the rarest or most expensive, though 1,2,3 and would qualify for both of those.

I'm so bummed I never bought the E121 Ruths. I was never really in the market for the pitching pose, but I could have bought dozens of the Holding Ball, with Bird, and Montage cards for a few hundred dollars each and never did because I can't stand the images.

Depending on your budget you could keep busy for a while with Ruth's American Caramel cards from the 1920's. There are several American Caramel cards of Ruth and a lot of variations of those Caramel cards too.
The American Caramel Ruth's are from 1921, 1922 and 1927. In my opinion there is nothing that better represents Babe Ruth in his prime in the 1920's. The design and appeal are amazing on these. This was also a unique era with mostly black and white cards. These truly have a special place in history.

Every thread needs a card, and this "card" was released in Dec 1916, so I guess that makes the first of his eight m114 releases (with another 15 variations) his rookie, too?

This is actually a good example of what I'm talking about. This particular photo was used for so many cards, and some are rarer than others. It kind of makes my head spin

Anyone know if the type 1 for this exists? Would be iconic
