Only Ruth I've ever found viable at $80 is the pitcher card

Not at $80, I don't use cards if they aren't efficient. 1927 pops at $100 occasionally. But even at $140 those top cards are pricey (though obviously playable once you get to that cap).

Yes I've used the Big Daddy at $140 and $200. Definitely the best card in the set (ignoring price) in a neutral environment.

I haven't used those cards, but it looks like they could make fun #3 batters in a league with 7+ lefty parks.

In a 100M league format, I do sorta like Ruth's 1920 card for about $13.5M -- it's got beastly HR power, more than any of the Ruth cards. Don't toss a lefty pitcher against this card.
Yet, like others have said, it's pushing the envelope at 100M (wouldn't try this at 80M) to spend so much on one player and not spread the wealth on strong platoons/match-ups etc.
Here's how '20 Ruth at 100M is doing for me currently:

Not too shabby to say the least.
