From Wikipedia-- "Societe Anonyme (art) was an art organization founded in 1920 by Katherine Dreier, Man Ray, and Marcel Duchamp."

The term is also a legal term, roughly "private corporation".

The Babe Ruth book that Max posted may have a photo credit for the front cover.
Here's a foreign rppc that uses the term. Not the NY art company.

If it's not a modern piece, it would be pretty cool if the photo is by Man Ray. That seems more likely than "someone took some left-over supplies of Man Ray and made a baseball card" or whatever the rppc expert was quoted in the auction description.
