First, thank you for your help on this. This walked into our shop today and I do not know a thing about these. I need help from the experts. The guy wants to sell it, but I don't have a clue. Please shed some light on value. Thank you again.

8 year post career photo.

Maybe a $500 item IMO.

Post career type 1 in uniform. That's interesting, if you can pinpoint what this photo is from it could definitely help the value. I think it's still worth around $700-$1000 as is. Being in a uniform with bats helps tremendously.

Could be 8/23/1942.

Probably Ruth's first baseball-related fund-raising appearance was on August 23, 1942. Before a huge crowd of 69,136 at Yankee Stadium, 47-year-old Babe Ruth donned the Yankee pinstripes for the first time in seven years and faced 54-year-old Walter Johnson formerly of the Washington Senators. Johnson threw 17 pitches to Ruth. On the fifth pitch, Ruth hit a drive into the lower rightfield stands as the crowd thundered its approval. On the final pitch, Ruth hit a towering upper-deck shot that was just foul. He circled the bases doffing his cap and saluting the roaring crowd with every step. Ruth and Johnson then left the field together to a thunderous ovation. The Senators beat the Yankees, 7-6, in the first game of the double header and the Yankees won the nightcap, 3-0. But the results were incidental to the between-games show put on by Ruth and Johnson. $80,000 was raised for the Army-Navy relief fund.

As Jon below mentioned, it's from the Aug 23 exhibition.

It was used for both type 7 and type 8 of his m114 posters (note the crop above his head).

Also, here's a scorecard from the second game of the doubleheader played that day.
