Ruth Check
Either way, the check is no good. Signature is "Off" and Claire's signature is a clear indicator. The forger did a good version of Ruth, but chopped up Claire's signature with slow pen-flow and stop/start marks. Clearly the forger practiced the Babe's signature but didn't practice Claire's. I saw multiple auctions of Babe Ruth blank checks which sold. I have no doubt in my mind. The check is not worth $22,000. It is not worth $1 either.
