(LOT 778)
Ty Cobb Signed Check PSA/DNA Encapsulated

This signed Check by Ty Cobb is written out for $137.54 to Mike Schneider on 4/15/1955 of the First National Bank of Nevada. A very bold blue fountain pen signature. Gorgeous signature indeed. Nicknamed "The Georgia Peach," he was born in rural Narrows, Georgia. As an outfielder, Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until 1992. In 1999, editors at the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players. This is one check signed by the Georgia Peach that you don't want to miss. PSA/DNA Authenticated.
