One of the most controversial players in the history of baseball, "The Georgia Peach" still holds many records to this day, among them a lifetime batting average of .367 and 12 batting titles, including a ridiculous nine in a row from 1907-1915. One thing Cobb didn't do well was make friends. His "spikes up" hard-nosed mentality made him the most hated player in the sport. He fought other players. He fought fans. He fought umpires. But when it came to playing the game, nobody did it better. This First National Bank of Nevada check was made out by Cobb's hand on April 29, 1960 and signed "Tyrus R. Cobb" on the bottom in green ink. The check was made out to "Cash" for $100.00. The check has cleared punch holes on the front and several bank stamps on the back. This Ty Cobb signed check comes encapsulated and authenticated by PSA/DNA (81971644), who gave the autograph the grade of MINT 9.
