ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $100.00
Winning Bid: $143.96
Price Realized: $172.03
Auction Date:9/10/2005 9:00 PM EST

The added significance in this signed 1987 check by Barbra Streisand made out to Breslauer, Jacobson & Rutman, Inc., one of the entertainment industry's top business-management firms, is that when it closed in 1994 three of its partners opened the industry's first accountancy firm run by women. Just like Babs to be on the periphery of something socially relevant. Light blue 3.5 x 8.5" check in the amount of $20,662.06 on funds from City National Bank in Beverly Hills has Streisand's typed name on the top left c/o a different L.A. office of the firm. Signature in black pen with a dramatic flair is NRMT, as is the check. People who can write checks for 20-grand are the luckiest people in the world.
