Mikey, It is real,these were training camp checks from the 70's. I see there might be a few bidders against you, so good luck and don't get caught up in the bidding.
Rob, Me too.The only thing that catches my eye is the stains near his signature.I found out with past experience that people are fussy.I had one a while back and sold it and the buyer returned it saying it was trimmed.I would have never known if it wasn't pointed out to me.It had no effect on the signature what so ever.
If you read what I wrote to Mikey,in not getting caught up in the bidding. I have seen before if there is interest in a item that some of these auctions houses will throw in a shill to bid up the price.I have never heard of Forsythes Auction House and they might be extremely reputable but it is something to keep in the back of your mind.
