Make contact with baseball's greatest contact hitter, when you take home this Ty Cobb signed check. Truly the master of hitting a baseball safely, Cobb (d.1961) was also proficient with pen in hand, as evidenced by his neatly applied fountain pen signature on the offered First National Bank of Reno check, dated 5/12/58. Made payable to "Cash" in the princely sum of $100, this crisp 8-1/8 x 3-1/8" check is printed with Cobb's name in block letters at left. Though bank processing perforations overlap the given name portion of his "Tyrus R. Cobb" endorsement ("8.5"), only one of the small holes makes contact with the upper loop of the letter "T", while the rest of the signature has escaped ink breaks. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $250.
