I saw it too and at first though it was a put together fantasy piece too...

But, The obviously old (wear at bend) cabinet mount has "Babe Ruth" printed on it below the photo, thats what made me think it might be real.

In the early 1900s there were folders (like with the Ruth) where you slip the photo into the 'frame.' The photo can be removed and something else slipped in. The original photo wasn't glued in like with a cabinet. They are in the general style of cabinet cards except have a foldover cover. They were made for family photos, but commercial issues-- and the photos would be real photo not lithos or anything. The folder may be vintage, but the Ruth pic is an odd partner.

The folders aren't rare, but are much less plentiful than cabinets.

Default Ruth piece

It looks like the inside cover of a baseball magazine probably from 21-23 and put into what appears to be a 1930's graduation or wedding photographers matt board.

In my experience the overwhelming majority of fakes are created in such a way as to look real. Accordingly, I would put very little stock into the fact that the item might look old.
