I am not quite sure the question, and I am no photo expert though I have handled some, but I don't think it's a real, period photograph...if that is the question. It has that grainy look to it which is usually a later print than original. Nice photo but I would go with your guess of mass produced, not 1927 and not too valuable. All just semi-educated guesses to get the ball rolling. And welcome to the forum too.

Drate, paper and markings aside, the image of Ruth dates from after the labeled year, being that his home jersey says 'NEW YORK' rather than 'YANKEES', which the '27 jerseys did. The Yanks abandoned the team name on front in '31, if I remember correctly. And though they had 'NEW YORK' on their jersey fronts in the early twenties as well, it's fair to say that we see an older and...ahem...heavier Ruth in this shot.
Either way, it's a classic pose. I say, if you love it, hang it and enjoy! Graig
