Sweet Babe Ruth Check

Knopfler

I would love to own this check. A little out of my price range, although not totally unreasonable.

Babe Ruth Check 1936

Currently at $3131 with 9 hours to go .... looks like it could reach the $5,000-$6,000 mark easily!

I must say it sure is a sweet sig, though I would prefer "Babe" instead of "GH"!

Yeah, signed check as Babe would be great. Not sure how the bank rules apply on signatures though. Not sure if they would let you sign a nickname on a check.

Why not, the bank had his checks printed with "Babe" Ruth on them.

I remember, it didn't seem like too long ago, ten years ago or perhaps a bit more, these signed checks weren't selling for squat, and now for a variety of reasons these checks have become very popular, and very valuable.

With the abundance of forgeries on the market, people have turned to checks as a way to ensure the autograph is legitimate.

I think it has to match what's on the signature card at the bank.

The winning bid was $3,476.00 . I'm very surprised the price only went up a few hundred dollars during the final 9 hours.
