The Glory of Their Times Royalty Checks

[aelefson]

Hi-
I recently acquired the check scanned below. It is a royalty check for the book The Glory of Their Times and it is made out and signed by the author. The payee is Al Bridwell who signed it on the back.
Did all of these checks come out at a single auction? Or, were some sold at shows? Were these checks issued monthly? More or less frequently? Any other information regarding these would be great to read.
Please post them if you have them. I would enjoy seeing more of them.
Thanks,
Alan Elefson

Alan - I had a few of these many years ago. I really don't recall how I got them.
There are also full page documents, which were signed by the players, which assign their royalties to a beneficiary in the event of their death.

Alan, great looking Bridwell royalty check.
I've gotten a bunch of the Ritter checks over the last dozen years or so, all from eBay.
Not sure how they initially originated.

Here's a trio that I've shown a few time on related "Glory" threads

Thanks Jay and Richard. I got mine from a local longtime dealer but he could not remember where he got it. Jay, those checks are incredible!

Great items -- I am enjoying looking at them.

"Glory" is by far my favorite baseball book. I have read hundreds
and also collect them, especially copies signed by former players.

"The Glory of Their Times" is my desert-island baseball book with none a close
second.
