Thinning out the collection. This beautiful vintage Ty Cobb check is drawn on the First National Bank of Nevada and dated Sept. 14. 1948. "The Georgia Peach" paid the feds $6,250, an impressive amount when you consider the average income of the time was probably less than that. It's written in Cobb's classic green ink with a nice autograph.

This beauty has been in my personal collection for more than 30 years. I acquired it at the National Convention in either 1981 or '82 in Plymouth Michigan. Old-Timers will remember those early shows organized by Lloyd and Carole Toerpe. Anyway, there is no LOA or COA. It has been professionally framed with a Perez-Steele postcard.

Forgive my poor photography, but I'll take the first $845, shipping and insurance included. SOLD SOLD SOLD
