We can agree to disagree. The printing is way off. I believe Yours is a current type reprint. I have seen and handled dozens of items on similar stock. The front of the paper is very, very uniform and not like any vintage (pre war) card I have seen. At least not any real one. Just send it in and see what any grading company says. Here is a Lobby card I won on ebay recently. The seller said it was period and vintage. When I got it (and still have it as he said to keep it) I knew it was a more recent reprint. It is on the same type paper as your Ruth. He sent me a refund and didn't want it back.
