Default Need Help with Identification of Ruth

Looking for some expert advice. I have posted before but the saga continues. This Babe Ruth came from my grandfathers estate and I got when my grandmother passed in 1987. He died in 1962. He was in his late forties. Anyway I sent this in to SGC as a possible 1929 kashan publication but it was deemed questionable a couple of years ago. Now it's obvious to me that I have picked up a real one that the kashin is much smaller and a different paper stock. I had a dealer at a show in charlotte tell me it was an old reprint as well produced prob from the era. Worth $15 to $20. Fast forward two years and I'm digging thru my standard catalog on a Sunday and I spot this. It looks the part. Measures exactly the same width and almost the same height. I'm still not convinced mine is a reprint. This is heavy like a photo which matches description as well. Please take a look. I'm fine either if it's real or not but of course I would like to think that it's legit. Hoping someone with some real knowledge here can help me out.
