(LOT 1831)
Honus Wagner Autographed Check PSA/DNA Auto Authentic

WAGNER CHECK!!!... Honus Wagner played shortstop for 21 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Louisville Colonels (1897-1889) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1900-1917). Wagner won eight batting titles, tied for the most in National League history with Tony Gwynn. He also led the league in slugging six times, and stolen bases five times. Wagner was nicknamed "The Flying Dutchman" due to his superb speed and German (Dutch) heritage. Offered is a check written from his Carnegie National Bank account to "Tom Herron" in the amount of $21.60, Honus Wagner has handwritten this payment receipt in black fountain pen.

Encapsulated as Authentic by PSA/DNA, the signature remains in superb condition with only the smallest of wrinkles or creases infringing on its brilliance. Wagner's signature appears in "7-9" strength with only a minimal amount of fading due to its 105 years of storage as the date indicates "June 9, 1917". This fabulously signed check from one of the famed First Five Cooperstown inductees surely destined for an elite HOF signed check gathering.
