Not one, not two, but three Hall of Fame autographs grace this 1930 paycheck from The American League Base Ball Club of New York Inc. to infielder Tony Lazzeri. Dated June 30th, 1930 and made out to "Anthony" Lazzeri in the amount of $1469.06, it is endorsed on back in crisp 9/10 ink. The front of the check is signed by Ed Barrow - who was the team's business manager - much like a GM of the era - as well as Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert Jr., whose 10/10 black fountain pen signature completes the picture. Check measures 9x3.25" and is encapsulated by PSA as Authentic Auto for all three. Lazzeri's prowess was on display as part of New York's fabled Murderers' Row while the other two earned Cooperstown kudos on the business end of the Yankees' dynasty. Outstanding specimen.
