Edited to add: looking at that Babe Ruth pennant would certainly give me pause before I bid on the Reds one.

That is a positive sign... but not iron-clad evidence of authenticity, as you say. Could just be consigned from a Reds collector who bought the pennant on faith...
If the 1919 Reds Pennant
is good, then someone should jump on that Ruth Pennant (a real bargain by comparison!)
