Bank check, dated July 21, 1960, signed in blue ink by Jackie Robinson. PSA/DNA has encapsulated the check and graded the signature MINT 9. The check, drawn on "The First National City Bank of New York," is made out to his mother, "Mallie Robinson" in the amount of $125. Signed by "Jack Robinson" along the base. Because the check is made out entirely in Robinson's hand to his mother, the check features two "Robinson" signatures. Endorsed by "Mallie Robinson" in blue ink ("8") on the reverse. The check (6.75 x 2.75 inches), which has normal bank cancellation stamps (none affecting the signature), displays a vertical fold and is otherwise in Excellent condition. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
