Default He feels confident......it's Ruth
Talking about photo ids, this guy feels confident Ruth is on this postcard. Maybe it's the guy on the right or left?

Leon,

I just got off the phone with ASA grading. Apparently, that is Ruth, but it's an "unreleased version." Go figure!

Lovely Day...

The PC has an undivided back, so maybe it's the Babe brought back from the future. Or it's Babe's Grandpa. Yeah, that's it.

Default on a similar note....another Ruth
On a similar note of crappola someone is about to get burnt on this one. A very, very poor fake. People should educate themselves before buying a "great" deal...but at least this reprint does picture him

He does say at the end of his description that his friend doesn't think it's Ruth so he'll go with that...uh..then why not edit the description and title???..both of which can be done since there are no bids.

Not all undivided backs are pre 1907...I think this postcard is later than that, but not sure.

I know Dan. I thought the exact same thing. If he "knows" he made a mistake and edited the description why not edit the title too?

Because he's still hoping to catch some bidders from his original description...maybe no one will read the bottom line and think it's actually Ruth

Oh, the lack of morals

Pretty sure the guy on the left is Freddie Patek. He played the entire 1971 season for the Royals dressed as a midget cop.
