Maurice Richard cheques

Picked these up a few years back and thought I would show from my collection. These are available on eBay regularly so they are not that rare, but they are pretty cool to have in the 'ol diplay case. As a memorabilia autograph you can't get any more authentic then a cancelled cheque. The sports card companies bought alot of these to use as cut auto on their cards. The story i heard was that after he passed away, a family member was going through his estate and there was large box with all these cancelled cheques, and they almost threw them in the trash until someone reminded him/her that those are probably worth something, ie. since he is a legend, icon, hall of famer. Easy to see how that could happen, for a normal person a box of cancelled cheques is actually garbage :)
