Not a difficult signature overall, but definitely a cool check, IMHO...
![]() Here is a TRIPLE signed Carl Erskine personal check to add to my collection of checks signed by no-hit pitchers. Oisk threw two no-hitters, one in 1952 and one in 1956 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Carl Erskine is one of the nicest former players on the planet, bar none! |

Erskine is awesome. He called me one time after I sent him an old photo to sign. He looked up my number and wanted to chat about that picture.

Got this wonderful Branch Rickey & George Weiss signe newspaper photo from Jim Stinson. Thank Jim!!! as always much better than I expected
Cool part about this is that it has an article on the reverse by Dan Daniels regarding Hack Wilson's Death so the photo has to date from late 1948... |

Scott, I'm not a check collector but am a huge Erskine fan. I have obtained a few autos through the mail from him and he was by far the nicest and most complimentary person ive gotten. I wrote him a thank you letter and told him it wasn't necessary to write back. He hand wrote me a 3 page letter back thanking me for remembering him. He included a lot of personal information in it as well (ie, he wears his 59 WS ring, has 9 grand children and 4 great grandchildren, never kept any baseball things except rings, etc.)
Really nice piece. Congrats! Drew
