Need help with an odd Babe Ruth Kashin Card

[Leon]

To me it looked like it was printed on something like 1980s Kodachrome paper. I am 100% sure it's not period. (but have been wrong before) Good luck with it...

It's not a kodachrome paper I've seen before and unfortunately doing press checks around the world I've seen every type of paper and printing processes you could imagine.

I try not to bring up my expertise in paper and printing and maybe I should more since it is my job. lol

Where would someone get the hi-res photo for this would be my first question, not on the internet, its not in there, could be from a scan, but from my experience to that quality it would have been from a negative and not from a flat bed, could be a drum scan but again who has the money for that? It just is a bit perplexing.

Quick trivia note, did you know kodachrome was first used in the 1930's?

I don't have much to add, but does anyone know what font "New York American League" is in? It looks like a newer font (??). If so, we could put something of a date on this.

That is on the 5x7 premium.

Ha! Well, so much for that. Shoulda kept my mouth shut.

No your'e good Bryan. I'm not saying its not modern it could be and just has an old musty smell because it was in a basement for a few years or a warehouse. I'm just trying to piece together where it came from. Because what ever it is was done very nicely. Leon can attest to that this is not some cheap knock off and time and effort were put into it.
