Check out (no pun intended) this one we sold a few years back at Heritage Auctions. It's a Rogers Hornsby payroll check endorsed on the verso by the Hall of Famer when he was managing the minor league Baltimore Orioles. There was a big fire at the ballpark on the Fourth of July, 1944 and most of the archives stored there were destroyed. This check barely made it--notice the charred edges!
