Ty Cobb check question

[w7imel]

thanks guys i really respect your opinions!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand getting a second opinion about authenticity, but never understood paying money to a signature graded for condition. One only needs eyes to see that a signature is in Mint condition. Someone random off the street who can determine that. It's like paying someone to tell you the color of your car.

$150 is such a waste of good money. You're probably already convinced that it's authentic, so the only reason you might want to get a cert is if you wanted to sell it in an online auction. I've only sold things in an auction once, and I told the auctioneer, if he wanted a TPA cert, he could pay for it himself (which they did). Otherwise, I ain't blowing a good $100-$200+ on a questionable opinion.

Just my opinion, but I'd rather keep $100 and buy some autographs.

Like I said I have no intention of ever selling. Ive looked darn near 25 years for a ty cobb check and a babe ruth check made out on my birthday. Have 1 of 2 now.....Ruth still eluding me. haha although I have managed to snag a ruth check he made out to his wife that signature is mint

Like others have said, I would definitely keep it intact just the way it is. Only reason I would take the pieces apart and send to PSA is if you had doubts on the authentication of the Cobb autograph.

There is no question of authenticity regarding Ty Cobb checks.
Don't give those people your money.

I've seen color copies of checks that look good framed up. You've probably already done it, but if not, examine it up close to make sure it is not a nice color copy.
