Ruth photos I found at estate sale

Can't give an opinion on the photos, but what other baseball stuff was there and how were the prices?

If they're the originals they are great. The only way to know is to remove them to look them or a different board member has the originals in their collection, then they are copies. Great score if they're original

What do those little circular labels on the back say? They look familiar—a lot of the photos that come from the archives of different publications have something like that: example.

Maybe this helps a little.

Other than some cool old photos and the stadium seat, I saw no other baseball memorabilia. It appears the person was a collecting dabbler. There was a little bit of everything: antiques, music memorabilia, some signed hockey and soccer jerseys, movie memorabilia and on and on. I guess when you have that kind of disposable income, it would be fun to dabble.

The labels in the corner says Baseball Magazine. There were other photos that featured players reading copies of Baseball Magazine so some in the collection must have been from the archive. I thought those were overpriced so I didn't purchase them.

If they're originals, they're all very valuable as they're grade A Ruth poses. Won't take too much effort to remove the photos and see if the photo backs are originals of the photocopies.

The backs are photocopies of real stamps, so I assume the fronts are forgeries.

They are photocopies, but the story is the framer photocopied the photo backs and placed the pictured photocopies on the back of the frame. The pictures are the backs of the frames.
