One of The Babe's personal checks made out to the N.Y. State Tax Commission in the amount of $54.57. Dated April 3, 1942. Ruth signed the check "GH Ruth", using the initials for George Herman, the rarer version of his valuable signature that here rates a 9.5 out of a possible 10. The document was written in the hand of another (though the signature is irrefutable) and owns multiple official bank stampings and perforations. Completely absent of folds and creases, Near Mint. Rare indeed are ink specimens of this quality.
