I went to a local collectibles show yesterday and bought a box of about 275 mostly baseball autographs. Most were in the 1955-1970 range. These are some that caught my eye. Not a lot of value but I found them interesting. Also, at one time I was thinking of putting together an auto set of 1961 baseball but after seeing the 1958s, that interests me more.

Can you put up a scan of the full front and back of the Mordecai check? Intertested in the date and which bank it was deposited into to compare to one I'm intertested in.

Hey Guys just a heads up be careful on the M. Brown endorsed check signatures, that were CUT from checks as what happened is when the checks first came out it was fairly easy to find a full check endorsed on the reverse

There were some of them that were signed by his wife who's signature looked nothing like his and which were basically worthless. What I've seen done with them is forgers use the OTHER side of the reverse of the check and mimic his signature then cut and discard the rest of the check. So make sure its signed on the ENDORSEMENT portion of the reverse of the check.

Jim, correct me if I am wrong, but these old checks did not have an endorsement line per se like todays modern checks (at least my Cobb, and Johnson checks don't). So the endorsement portion you are talking about is the reverse side behind the "Pay to the Order of" printed on the left, front of the check correct?
