One of the most controversial players in the history of baseball, "The Georgia Peach" still holds many records to this day including lifetime batting average (.367), and batting titles (12), 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 “March-19-, 1941” and signed Tyrus R. Cobb on the bottom in black ink. Cobb made this check out to “Hope Walker” for $10.00. The check has the cleared punch holes on the front and several bank stamps on the back. This Ty Cobb signed check has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA (81980651) and the signature has been graded AUTHENTIC.
