The Big Train amassed 417 victories and retired with a 2.17 ERA so it is not hard to see why he was a charter member of Cooperstown. The offered autographed relic features a nearly flawless signature of the great right-hander on one of his personal checks. The beautiful Johnson signature grades ("9"). This check has a clean front, dated April 27, 1942, with a reverse that features the bank’s stampings. As signed checks gain in popularity, this mint example will remain among the sharpest and most desirable collectibles for Walter Johnson. Accompanying the check is a Perez-Steele Hall of Fame postcard. This check comes with an auction LOA from James Spence Authentications.
