The Ty Cobb Museum raffle for an Authentic Ty Cobb Autograph Card

So the Ty Cobb museum cut up a Ty Cobb check (which was by definition 1 of 1) to make a "card" that is 1 of 1?

Nice to know they care.

The most polite word I can think of to justify this action is "misguided". Any other words that come to mind are probably not suitable for a public forum.

keep me thinking... No one can verify that check was really from a Ty Cobb personal check now.... hmmm

The Museum purchased the Cobb autograph already cut from the check, and then had it authenticated. It did not, and would not, destroy an original relic. The Museum and its Director stand behind this authentication.

The auto doesn't bother me. COVID smashed the budgets and endowments of many organizations, including colleges. Good for the museum doing what it needs to do to stay operational.
