Babe Ruth, baseball's greatest star, elevated the game from school yard activity to National pastime with his seemingly endless natural ability. One of the rare personalities that transcends his field, the Babe's signature is highly coveted by collectors in many different areas. The offered example is signed "G.H.Ruth" and appears on a check dated May 14, 1937. It has been fully executed in Ruth's hand with the signature rating a strong 9, the only detractor being a partial obstruction as a result of the bank cancellation. It comes matted to an overall size of 12" x 18" with a 1930s insert that is in VG condition. The autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
