Bank Check Question (Cobb)

[joebrandon1977]

I collect mostly T206 cards and have not ventured into the memorabilia space, but I have always wanted to get a Cobb bank check.

For checks in general, is there anything I should read to educate myself on what to look for?

a. Should I pay extra for a graded / certerfied check? (ie, is there a lot of counterfits)

b. If the signiture is authetic, is it worth more/less if the rest of the check does not appear to be signed by the person (ie, wife wrote check, Cobb signed check).

c. I've noticed the Cobb checks, some have his signiture in green. Is it worth more/less if the whole check is in green? Or if the it is a blue ink / green ink combination? Or all in blue?

I'm sure trying to educate myself on these types of things so I can make the best decision when shopping. If there is additional information I should know, I would appreciate the info!

Thanks in advance!
