Default Now that it's done, a rare Sociedade Industrial Babe Ruth card

It just finished, didn't want to out it before it was done. I bid on it, and maybe some of you did as well. Maybe one of you whippersnappers won it! I thought it might have been trimmed on the bottom after comparing it to the only other example I found. Otherwise, these cards were not printed the exact same, and either contained a different amount of the image, or were not the same size.

The 1928 Tabacalera La Morena Babe Ruth uses the same image, aside from whatever that tinting is. The only example I've seen of that is also short top to bottom when compared to the example at Lelands (below). The Tabacalera La Morena can be found here:

eBay example that just finished:

Anyone know anything else about these?
