It isn't his rookie card because it's a minor league card.

I agree with both of your points.

I visited the Ruth museum in Baltimore right after it first opened..... I remember they were selling spots on the wall/stairs for each home run Ruth hit. The most amazing thing ( and this would be about 1980 or so) was the old guy at the counter on the way out said.... sometimes the stars would exchange bats with each other, heres one called Black Betsy......hands it across the counter to my wife, she starts taking some practice swings with it! Man back in those days the hobby was FUN!!!! I checked it out, looked pretty plain to me as I recall. Those were the days.....

Using the same reasoning, the T206 "cards" are really cigarette ads.

To the general public, that's irrelevant. It's Babe Ruth's earliest baseball card, and that's all that matters. And the fact that it's dated on the back is icing on the cake.
