Ruth Barnstorming Card - Authentic?

On ebay, there is another unique Ruth card here: Linky

I assume this is a fantasy piece or reprint? Thanks!

fantasy piece
 
I believe it is a fantasy piece. I have quite a few Babe Ruth type cards and this is not something I have ever seen or heard of. Understanding I haven't seen it all, by any means, I would put this at about 98% as for it being a fantasy piece. Worth just about as much as the paper it's printed on.

Bottom line. If it were authentic, the seller would have had it slabbed.

And when you see one like this please give me a call. Much to Legendary Auctions credit they pulled, what I believe to be a reprint of this one, in their last auction. best regards

Now that's a great looking Ruth, Leon--the stuff you see on this site is amazing!

Leon is correct, the barnstorming is a recently made Frankenstein. Hopefully ebay will pull this auction before someone gets burned.
