Default Is the 1935 Goudey wrapper a "Babe Ruth item"?

It's fairly common that someone on this board asks about the best bargain Babe Ruth card. While most of his playing days cards are now over $1000 even if terrible shape, I was curious if anyone considered the 1935 Goudey wrapper as a Babe Ruth item. They can be had for under $100, and I believe the image on the wrapper is indeed intended to be Ruth...and it's from his final playing year.

However, it's just a silhouette of a chubby left handed slugger. Could be anybody. Just curious as to if anyone considers it a cheap Ruth collectible.
