Trio of signed bank checks features some of the greatest in the history of the game. Best of all are the importance of two of the payees: 1) 1934 Babe Ruth signed personal check to his wife, Claire Ruth, the former showgirl who was invaluable to him in the tail end and his post-career. She stayed with with him to the very end. Comes with JSA Authentication. 2) 1930 Ty Cobb signed check is made out to his Philadelphia Athletics teammate Eddie Collins. Signed by both Collins and Cobb, it is graded a PSA Auto 9. Collins and Cobb were former Philly A's teammates in the twilight of their careers. Cobb traded teams with Tris Speaker after allegations of gambling affected the two giants. 3) 1919 Honus Wagner signed full name check "John H. Wagner." Comes with both PSA & JSA Authentication.
