Which family member did Cobb write this check to?

I didn't realize punching a few holes and having a stamp made was that hard.

I'm not sure forgers are creating multiple bank-related stamps after buying 100 year old blank checks just to create a fake $1300 check like the Cobb ones above. I mean that's a lot of effort for $1300, no?

Maybe you make too much $ for it to be feasible to you. Seems like very little effort to me for $1300. People forge $3 autographs and alter $5 cards so why wouldn't they put in very little effort to get $1300.

Every single item requires at least some leap of faith, that check is on the very low side of doubt for me for the simple reason of the amount of work/sophistication (finding blank Cobb checks is not easy) vs reward compared to forging a signed photo or baseball, or trimming a card, etc.

You dont do it just once. After stamps are made just go wild.
