Genuine Home Run Cigarettes stuff exists but as far as I know never before had a picture of Babe Ruth (or other star player) involved. I think the Babe Ruth picture was exactly why the fantasy question was originally posed.
However, I believe the art on the front of the genuine vintage packs was intentionally nostalgic and old timey even at the time of manufacture. The uniforms and equipment on the front are earlier than when the packs were made. I'm no expert on Home Run Cigarettes stuff and someone may correct me, but I think it mostly dates to the early 1900s.
