IF and only IF(did I mention IF)  this piece is authentic how could it be from 1927???  I know there are a ton of repos out there. Was this a fantasy piece?
This is being sold as "rare and from this 1927 tour". So I emailed the seller and asked how they knew it was authentic. They replied, "the paper dates to the time period and something like this wouldn't have been illegally reproduced at the time." So I responded with, "so the paper's been tested?" and haven't heard a word back.
Thoughts??

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Barnstorming game in Flint, Michigan.
The game was played October 26, 1928 at the old Athletic Park in Flint, Michigan.
There is a promotional poster that was on display at the old Yankee Stadium that is now on display at the New Yankee Stadium.
The link below is for that poster from my Facebook page.
