I have both of these somewhat obscure...less expensive ruth cards. I seem to see the shonen postcards pretty routinely on ebay...but rarely see the youth's companion...besides R3's. How scarce are these "stamps" depicting ruth in a sox uni pitching? And I realize there is no proof this is Ruth...but the likeness is uncanny!!!

For what it's worth I think the stamp depicts Ruth also. Very close image likeness. I would put the stamp in the "scarce" category......best regards

Was Ruth a knuckleballer?

I vote that it's Ruth. The stamp is rare, but baseball stamps are usually rarer than comparable baseball cards.
