Probably a mistake on the pop report and a different player was keyed incorrectly to Ruth.
I'm pretty sure they know at PSA/DNA that the 1948 Leaf issue although copyrighted 1948 was not distributed until 1949 based on available info.
However, I guess if the pop is correct, it is possible the cards were actually printed before Ruth's death in 1948 and someone in the Leaf Company had access to both the cards and Ruth while he was still living and got one signed.
I would say a very, very long shot but maybe possible if the pop is correct.
Or, PSA/DNA just blew it and authenticated a good forgery. Also, likely a long shot.
My bet is that the card does not exist.
