Although Ty Cobb played baseball in an era where many players worked second jobs, Cobb amassed a considerable fortune in his later years through shrewd investing and intelligent business deals. His fortune grew so great that, in his later life, he donated $100,000 to build a hospital in Georgia. The career .366 hitter has a complex legacy, but his generous actions had a lasting impact after his death in 1961. This check, dated to “11/19” 1955, is made out for the value of $200.00. It is made out to “Cash”. Cobb signed the bottom of the First National Bank of Nevada check as “Tyrus R. Cobb” in his famous green pen. This check comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA, who have graded Cobb’s signature a MINT 9.
