O/T Ruth And A Kid With A Notebook

[iggyman]

This is way off-topic, but since everybody is lying low waiting for this weekend's REA fireworks. I just thought I would throw this question out there. This is not my pic and I actually found it on eBay, but what do you think is inside the binder/notebook the kid is holding??? Autographs? Signed tobacco/Goudey cards? Calculus exam? The kid seems to have something on his ear like a pen/pencil and doesn't seem all that impress with the Bambino (as if he has seen Ruth close-up at least a dozen times), and Ruth has the same expression I have when I show-up to work every Monday morning .

Here is a wider view of the pic. My impression is, Ruth is on his way to the field when someone called-out his name for a quick Kodak moment. The kid is obviously skipping school and failing calculus; while those two binders contain hundreds of signed tobacco cards. One for the National league, another for the American league. They are currently collecting dust in someones attic.
