BASEBALL AUTOGRAPH RARITIES FOR SALE NOW PART I
100) WILLIE MAYS EXTREMELY RARE SIGNED PERSONAL CHECK 1955 Only a small handful of Willie Mays checks are known to exist. This one measures 8 1/2 x 3 and is dated May 1955. Check is made out to Art Flynn Associates and signed by a 25 year old Mays in lower right on the eve of his 1954 MVP season. Art Flynn has also signed the check on the front above the signature of Mays. Although a relatively easy autograph to find on other mediums , May's signature is particularly elusive on a check. His career accomplishments speak for themselves and many consider Mays to have been the greatest all around baseball player of all time. He won the Rookie of the Year award in 1951 and was twice elected Most Valuable Player in 1954 and 1965. Played almost his entire career for the Giants 1951-72 and for the Mets briefly in 1972 and 1973 he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979. $1,500.00

101) JOE DiMAGGIO SCARCE SIGNED BUSINESS CHECK DRAWN ON THE YANKEE CLIPPER ENTERPRISES ACCOUNT Measures 2 3/4 x 6 filled out entirely and signed by DiMaggio , payable to the "Presidio Golf Club" and dated June 9th , 1989. In fine condition with a bit of a light show through under signature from a stamp on reverse which is barely noticible. A very clean DiMaggio check among the finest I've seen. $350.00

102) KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS Full page typewritten letter measures 8 1/2 x 11 and is dated July 27th , 1937. Extremely FINE condition Written on Official "Baseball" letterhead and signed boldly by Landis at conclusion. The letter is written to "Elmer Daily , the President of the Pennsylvania State Association" and threatens to impose a fine on the McKeesport for Failure to execute a questionaire. Proves how far reaching Landis powers were as Baseball's first commissioner from 1920 until his death in 1944. Associated with numerous baseball scandals throughout his rein he is best remembered for his handling of the infamous & controversial "Black Sox" World Series fix. Many critics considered him overly harsh by banning 8 of the White Sox players for life especially Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson. He was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame by special vote shortly after his death in 1944. $450.00

103) ED BARROW HISTORIC SIGNED YANKEES CHECK FOR THE FIRST TELEVISED HEAVYWEIGHT PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN MAX BAER & LOU NOVA HELD AT YANKEE STADIUM 1939 Amazing ! check measures 3 1/4 x9 and is signed on the front by Ed Barrow and treasurer Albert Brennan. Dated 6/9/39. The check is made out in the amount of $3,107.73. On the reverse is typed "Share of Receipts Baer-Nova Fight at Yankee Stadium June 1st, 1939" There is a small JSA authentication sticker at the far bottom reverse. The fight held at Yankee Stadium was historic in the annuals of boxing as it was the first televised heavyweight prize fight. Nearly 20,000 people attended the match which saw Lou Nova brutally batter former heavyweight champion Max Baer before knocking him out. As a result the victory earned Nova a title shot with Joe Louis. Although Barrow is a member of the baseball Hall of Fame inducted in 1953 the same year he died. It is the historical significance of the check not only with regards to Yankee Stadium history but boxing history in general and the history of television as the new medium in broadcasting major sporting events. $450.00
