Default Has anyone seen a Babe Ruth Death Pamphlet before?

I stumbled onto this a few days ago and was wondering if anyone else has seen one before.

This ebay listing is calling it a funeral program, but I don't think that's right.

I did some digging and managed to find one other example that had full scans.

It looks more like a 'scare people into religion' propaganda piece made by some church group in Michigan based on the stamp on the back... but, I'd guess it is probably from the period.

Do you think it actually has any value in the Ruth collectible world? 4k in that ebay listing seems a high to me, but maybe a few hundred bucks?

Or, is it just some oddball trash?

Just curious what you all might think about the item.
