There are thirty-four bank checks signed by the Raging Bull himself, Jake LaMotta. From 1956-57, they are attractively imprinted "Jake LaMotta, Inc." and "Jake LaMotta's Skybrite" from Miami. These are the companies that landed him in prison for selling booze to minors. None has marks on the signatures and they are large format checks and gorgeous. Best of all they are accompanied by thirty-four checks of his ex-wife, Vikki LaMotta. What a great display they would make together. They make a great pair because of their Raging Bull fame.
