Dan BrettaBabe Ruth and Mickey Mantle pinbacks I always shy away from because there are so many reproductions out there....I have to say that the one you won on ebay looks aged and has a legitimate look to it, but then again it's one of those items that I have no clue if it's a fantasy pin or something that was legitimately produced and distributed during Ruth's career. I wonder if that's also why the Hunt lot went so cheap?? You normally see those Ruth scorers go in the $100-$200 range so the pinback in that lot may have been inconsequential to the winner/underbidders.
In short, I don't know and sorry for wasting your time.
