Checks are a great way to collect authentic signatures and especially if made up with a nice frame and photo. Part of the luster that is lost for me is the fact that have handled so many, by the same group, that all I can picture are boxes and boxes of these things and the market simply flooded.
I.E what Bob Gibson did to the market recently, Curt Flood is doing now, Ralph Kiner and especially NFL commisioner Bert Bell who has even assisted in adding some Bill Hewitt signatures into the marketplace.
And too add to the above, let's also not forget about high quality photocopies of Ruth checks, framed and matted and sold as authentic. That's another scam, but no fault to the checks themselves, but the scammers who exist in damned groves.
