Signed checks offer more chance of authenticity. But wives secretary's have been known to sign checks so some footwork needs to go into them as well. But it sounds like you enjoy Perez Steeles. If that's the case putting together most of the possible HOF signatures in that format makes sense. Look at auctions for small lots or even bigger lots. Often some deals can be found. Of course some players like Satchel Paige Red Ruffing Waner etc who passed soon after their Perez Steele was produced can be very expensive. I would seek yellow HOF Plaques for them or other mediums to reduce costs. Or you could consider multi signed items like HOF program covers etc. I think they represent great value. Often selling for pennies on the dollar vs the value of all the auto's individually. And Given many of the multisigned items originate from a single event better chance they are real ( or at least most of them).
Good Luck enjoy the journey.
