Interesting Alan, I reckon the Babe allowed them to use Rube's image. Apparently there weren't enough pictures of young Babe pitching; had to settle for a well established future hall of famer. He signed a contract for something that didn't have his name or actual image. Money for nothing.
From what I recall without getting the book out, the card catalogue only mentioned Ruth being associated with the stamp in the context of people think it might be him, not that it was him.
I have a Red Sox postcard with Babe hitting.
