Apologies in advance for a very slight hijack of this post.
The topic caused me to go digging for the one check I have in my collection, a Ty Cobb made out to the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta on July 22, 1955.
While looking for the check, I found a note that my dad received when he was a kid. Somebody (he doesn't remember who, but is currently pondering it, I anticipate a return phone call in the next hour) got Ty Cobb's autograph for my dad on a flight from Atlanta to the west coast, it is dated less than 2 weeks later.
I had never noticed the dates until now, but find it pretty cool / strange that of all the Ty Cobb checks that exist in the world, 30 years ago I bought one from Fred Copp that was written so close in time to when he signed an autograph to my dad.

PS - I also like the fact that there is no number or address on the check. My bank laughs me out of the building when I show up with less than 13 forms of picture ID.
