Default Babe Ruth card help

I was at a local card show yesterday, when a dealer I've bought from waved me over. He wanted to show me a recent acquisition. It was a Babe Ruth card he had never seen before, and I haven't either. He told me he purchased it, with a number of other cards, for $600.00 from a man who inherited his grandfather's collection.

The card is yellow, measures a bit larger than the standard tobacco cards, and has a photo printed on it. It depicts the Babe from the waist up, standing in the dugout (the dugout roof is visible just behind his head). The photo is rough, and there are no markings on his uniform or cap, but the caption clearly says Boston. The back is blank, and there are no numbers on the card.

Ring any bells?
