Yeah, that’s a no. As mentioned it’s most certainly not a legitimate issue.
The listing title is - “ Showa 9 Japan-U.S. Baseball Bromide Babe Ruth babe ruth (検) Menko Face Menco Shigeo Nagashima Sadaharu O BBM Bundle Confectionery Shohei Otani No Sign”
That pile of jibberish key words simply means nothing. Other than Showa 9 is the year 1934. As it basically claims to be nothing specific it’s likely even skirting the strong Japanese counterfeiting laws.
Also a true bromide card is a photograph not a printed card. A bromide should have no print dots, it should be a photo developed from a negative on photographic paper. All of the known 1934 Japanese tour cards I know of are true bromides.
