- Lot Description
Pirates legend Roberto Clemente has endorsed the back of this team-issued check in crisp blue ballpoint. The $500 check, signed by Pirates traveling secretary John Fitzpatrick, is dated March 14, 1972. This was during Clemente’s last spring training before his untimely death in a plane crash nine and a half months later on New Year’s Eve while delivering humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
The front of the check is in excellent condition, with the expected bank cancellations and stamps. The reverse has bank stamps and three horizontal folds, none of which intrude onto Clemente’s exquisite stacked signature. The check has been encapsulated by PSA/DNA, and the signature has been graded AUTHENTIC.
