Pete Rose Gambling Check
I noticed this item on Ebay last week, and it intregued me enough to re-read to Dowd report. While reading the report, there are 40 to 50 photo copies of exhibits that you can look at (banks statements, checks etc.), I couldn't believe that one of those exhibits is actually this check. I know it's not a game used item, but this was actual evidence used to give Pete the boot.

Yea, I would have bought it but I just didn't have the dough right now. Pretty infamous check.

I had him sign a black MLB baseball with a gold pen "I'm sorry I bet on baseball". I'll get framed with the check and send you some pics when I get done, should look sweet.

You won the check? Awesome. Seriously, that's a part of baseball history. A bad part-but still history.

Re: Pete Rose Gambling Check
Yes, this is a very cool item. I had not seen it... and if I had, I would have been tempted to place a bid. Nice pick-up.
Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.
