The Ruth card has one characteristic of a reprint, but its not 100% certain to be a reprint. The bottom red strip on front lines up too perfectly on both ends with the background color, where they both meet the border. Almost all real cards dont have this, as the red will extend farther into the border, or some not as far into the border, but Ive never seen one match up exactly like this card (look at closeup link). The back looks good. If this card is a fake it is one of the tougher ones. I personally wouldnt bid unless I knew the seller on this auction. Another red flag is the card is not graded, for such a nice looking card (reprint/trimmed ???). my advise, on high end cards, you should know that the seller is experienced in vintage and honest, or the card has to be graded. Good luck, Frank
