If there’s a Holy Grail in the sports autograph world, it’s got to be a personal check with a Babe Ruth autograph, and that’s precisely what’s offered here, with the bonus signature of his second wife, Claire Ruth, who endorsed the check on the back. The legendary “G.H. Ruth” signature on this August 18, 1941, Chemical Bank check is as striking and elegant as the ones with the more familiar “Babe,” earning a BGS blessing as Authentic; the oversized check is a pristine match and is essentially Near-Mint to Mint. This is a simply spectacular artifact from the most revered player in Major League Baseball history, bolstered by the inclusion of a matching autograph from his second wife. The check is payable for an even $100.
