I figure $20 here and there will add up over time and I will be able to buy myself a Ruth xmas present!

I really like the looks of the checks as well, seems cool to have something from the Babes bank account, the one I have was made out to his wife for 1000 bucks on a Saturday in 1940...thats 17500 bucks in todays money accounting for inflation. I can only wonder what trouble he got into the night before that warrented scratching a check off to his wife the next day for 17500 bucks hey happens to the best of us doesnt it?

I'm not sure how anyone can really even have an opinion on the above Ruth. I feel like I really really know Ruth's signature, but the above is so off the charts that I can't even begin to give an opinion on it. Out of the 8 letters, one can really stretch it and say that 1.5/8 are close. Not "good", but close....

It helps to have seen other rushed signatures, Brendan.

I trust your opinion very much so David. I just don't have enough experience in his rushed signatures to opine on this. As always, appreciate the feedback.
