Great pick up!

Peace, Mike

PS A similar PSA 6 check sold for $2k about 2 years ago! Great find! Good job!

Thanks so much, Mike. I have long been interested in Earhart. The check did not even have an opening bid on it until a couple days ago. I figured the bids would explode on the final day, but was shocked when I looked at the lot a little after midnight and it was closed.

I like that the check is made out to Paul Mantz, an Earhart friend and advisor who said before her final flight that she was not ready for such an attempt.
