There was disclaimer added yesterday pointing out that some believe it isn't ruth, though they do strongly suggest that it is Ruth.

Please note: there is an on-going debate regarding this item as to whether it depicts Rube Marquard or Babe Ruth. It's the opinion of PSA, SGC, and other grading companies that this card depicts Babe Ruth, though it is confirmed that the body image is from a 1914 postcard of Rube Marquard. That said, it's our opinion that the image on this stamp varies from the image shown on the 1914 Marquard postcard, showing a meaningful difference. The fact that this image very closely resembles Babe Ruth is what's led many (including PSA) to believe this image is different from the original postcard image of Rube Marquard. That said, there is not definitive proof either way, so please bid accordingly.
