My understanding (maybe just lore) is that his wife would honor collector's requests after his passing by cutting a signature off of a check.

His wife cut up the checks. I received a number of Baker cuts from her in the mid-sixties. (I loved his "old-fashioned" looking handwriting.)

I agree with David, I like the neat penmanship. Here is a scan of a photocopy of my 3x5 bought from Bill Corcoran back in 1997. Best I can do, can't scan the original as it is framed up. I dug it out of an old file of receipts, found a few from Richard Simon in there!
