One time I was at a show and overheard a dealer tell a buyer that checks are guaranteed to be authentic because it was against federal law for a person to sign someone elses check. lol

Sure, then they can act like SGC and tell you to seek restitution from the FBI, since forgery is a federal offense

And how!

The original question related to forgery in terms of making up fake Babe Ruth checks.

Yes, the possibility exists like Richard Simon said that someone will take these blank checks, fill them out and forge Ruth's signature on them, and that is scary. I would be shocked if someone (or several someones) hasn't already thought about that as a reason to bid on this item. What is more scary is that a possibility exists that some TPA may certify one or more as legit.
