While David is right inasfar as Houston's rarity is concerned, I think it's a safe bet that the winning bidder could have cared less if T.L. had signed the check over Barrow. Barrow's signature on both personal and team-issued checks are nauseatingly plentiful. From an investment standpoint, it's best to secure a Barrow autograph on a nice 3X5 as opposed to a check that bears no historical context. These don't seem to be as available as they once were. Then again, if you want a cheap example of a HOFer who has been dead for over 50 years, by all means, pick up a Barrow check on eBay.
