Now that the EBAY auction has ended, and knowing the "54" is loaded with many very knowledgeable Ruth collectors, was wondering what you guys thought of the enclosed listing below. The seller sold a M Lantern slide the week before, had seen the 1915 Boston team shot and postcard, but this 1914 was a mystery to me. He mentions in the description that it`s from Babe`s Boston debut, July 11`th 1914. Again the image looks like one I`ve seen before but would like some input/education from you guys. Thanks and looking forward to any responses, GO SOX !!

It is my opinion that every Old Judge-like piece is not good. I would want to look at this item in person but I am very skeptical about it.

That picture of Ruth on the lantern slide was taken in Comiskey Park with its unmistakable arched openings behind the lower level seating.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, Boston's game on July 11, 1914 was against Cleveland at Fenway Park. Definitely doesn't add up if you ask me...

Thanks for the responses so far guys, much appreciated. Something this unusual always makes me skeptical too and did do some of the basic research. Good feedback, he had sold the 1915 Boston team lantern the previous week, and upon request did furnish photos of other sports related M L slides. Again, thanx for your input and the continued sharing of "54" knowledge, invaluable ! Will continue to poke around but like you guys, remain skeptical.
