Do we know what the purchase price of this check was?

It’s not just the market price that matters. There was clearly a high sentimental value to the owner/submitter in addition to its rather pedestrian market value.

And yes, BillyCox is right. I was writing from hospital bed (groggy, restless, late at night). It would not be the authenticator, but rather an assembly-line guy in slabbing that should be updating his resume.

Looks like there is a very similar check about a week apart on eBay for 250.

The one your speaking of is signed L. Doyle. Big difference.

It also has another person's signature overlapping Doyle's.

How big? I think Jeff was trying to take stock of the financial impact here. Does a Larry Doyle check bring in 10x a L Doyle check?

It isn’t Larry. That’s how you’ll find most Doyle autos. In this example, his proper first name is fully spelled out.

I guess let’s try the question a different way. How much do you think this check was worth before psa folded it?

I don't know what the OP paid for it. If I'm not mistaken, that was the most recent sale. So, whatever Max paid for it would be what it's currently "worth" in a broad sense. As for PSA, they would likely use the declared value from the submission, no?
