The scans are hard to see, but now I am questioning Joe for sure also. Those fronts look a bit too glossy for a Leaf.

If these are shiny at all in person, it would be fairly doubtful. The 48 leaf had a fairly matte finish.

Here are scans of the front and back of both cards. Hopefully these are more clear for you guys to see and give me an opinion as opposed to the crummy pictures from my phone. After looking at the scans, I'm thinking the Ruth is fake and the DiMaggio is real? I don't know. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks again!

The Ruth stock looks VERY white in the rips and creases....

I agree. I'm 99.9% sure the Ruth is fake. The DiMaggio looks totally different so I'm thinking real on that one.

Just noticed that your 1940 PlayBall DiMaggio has a couple of creases eerily similar to the Ruth - could be simply a coincidence.

Yes, I also noticed that as well.

The 1940 Play Ball DiMaggio is definitely fake and I'm pretty sure this Ruth is too.

I'm fairly certain all these cards are fake, the only one I'm holding out hope for is this 48 Leaf DiMaggio but if all the others are fake, I highly doubt this one would be real.

Oh well.
