“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
New York Yankees check endorsed by Hall of Famer Jim ''Catfish'' Hunter. Check dated 30 June 1980 drawn on the Chemical Bank of New York for $2,166.25 is signed on the verso, ''James Hunter''. ''Catfish,'' who got the nickname only because A's owner Charles Finley thought he needed one, pitched for both the Kansas City/Oakland A's and the Yankees. He was only the fourth (and last) American League pitcher to win twenty games in a season for five consecutive seasons. Check, measuring 7.25'' x 3.25'', has expected cancellation marks, else fine.
