(LOT 1735)
Morris "Moe" Berg Signed Check Measures Approx. 8-1/2" x 3-3/4" PSA/DNA Authentic
Moe Berg, famously known as "the spy," has signed this canceled check in bold black fountain pen, with only a cancellation line running through the "r" in Morris. This large-format check, dated January 2, 1942, is extremely rare and highly desirable. Drawn from the National Newark & Essex Banking, it holds particular significance as Berg left the Red Sox in 1942 to work for the U.S. government as a spy and goodwill ambassador. The check is written for $50 to the Commodore Hotel in NYC, suggesting he likely used counter checks to avoid being tracked by maintaining no bank account. This signed piece of memorabilia is a remarkable tribute to a man who debuted with the Brooklyn Robins in 1923 and concluded his career with the Boston Red Sox.
