Description

Babe Ruth

Personal check drawn on the Chemical Bank & Trust Company of New York, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Ruth, “G. H. Ruth,” payable to Kenilworth Garage for $59.62, October 14, 1941. A vertical fold to the left side, expected cancellation holes, some show-through from bank stamps to reverse, otherwise fine condition. Signature itself remains unaffected and extremely bold, displaying beautifully. A week before writing this check, Ruth’s former Yankees team defeated their crosstown rivals in the first Yankees-Dodgers ‘Subway Series.’ Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
