Those following the memorabilia trends have certainly taken notice of the steep climb in value that Babe Ruth checks have enjoyed over the last couple of years or so, and there seems to be no end to this trend in sight. As present-day fans and vintage collectibles enthusiasts alike continue to marvel at the exploits of one George Herman "Babe" Ruth, and his impact on the game of baseball, memorabilia items regarding him not only grow in popularity and demand, but continue to perform as one of the "safest" investments in the hobby. Due to the forgery scams that were prevelant a number of years ago, many celebrity autograph seekers have now relegated their focus to celebrity-signed personal checks. What better form of an autograph could there be, than an original signed check that came directly from the source? And, although the forging miscreants have since been all but eliminated from our wonderful hobby, there is still a great comfort level in owning a signed piece of history that a collector can be emphatically sure about the origin of. The offered rarity is dated just three months after "the Babe" announced his retirement from baseball, the game that he loved and that loved him. All ink remains as bold and perfect as the day Ruth applied it. Setting this specimen in a class by itself is an endorsing signature on the back for the cash withdrawal, taking the tally to two flawless autographs from "the Babe". The check itself is similarly gorgeous, with only a center vertical fold that remains essentially invisible upon display. Signed celebrity checks are one of the most desirable forms of momentos, because they can be easily framed with a favorite photo, to achieve an incredible conversation display piece. This Babe Ruth check is accompanied by A Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
