A number of stamped endorsements appear on the reverse. Babe Ruth personal checks have long been a favorite of autograph collectors due to their inherent authenticity and the fact that Ruth’s signature is always well executed. The offered check is particularly desirable due to the fact that it is made out entirely in Ruth’s hand. The check (8.5 x 3.25 inches) has normal bank cancellation stamps and holes. In Very Good to Excellent condition overall.
