Several Shelby American Checks on eBay

I just wanted to let anyone who is interested know that there are several Shelby American cancelled checks on eBay right now.

Here is one set available Shelby Checks

Look at his other items available for the other 7 or 8 checks.

Re: Several Shelby American Checks on eBay

Pouring salt in the wounds?!?!? I wonder who the seller is? Maybe somebody with an axe to grind, since it seems the timing is...questionable. Oh well, one more straw never hurts...does it?
As for value; remember I can ask for as much as I want. What I get remains to be seen. I am not sure too many collectors would go gaga over a SAI check to UPS! Now, if one for Miles shows up with an endorsement.....

Re: Several Shelby American Checks on eBay

I remember that numerous checks were made available for silent auction to benefit the Carroll Shelby Childrens Foundation back at the early "SAAC Does Vegas Conventions" before there the Las Vegas factory was even built. I think some may have been auctioned for the Foundation at some annual SAAC Conventions as well. I recall bidding started at $25 (minimum CS signature value) and was based on the number of checks in each packet. Maybe some others have better recall.

You mean like this one?

Dated April 8, 1966. Just two weeks after his & Lloyd Ruby's victory at Sebring and before his drive at Le Mans. Which would be his last win for SA.

Was a E-BAY buy with two other checks, both much earlier. The seller had GLUED them in the frame, it took me a couple hours of steaming to get this one out. Man was I nervous!

Re: Several Shelby American Checks on eBay

Hey Vern,
I have a few that have a Carroll Shelby "C" on the top right corner. Like he "approved" them with his initial on the ones he didn't actually sign.

Not sure whos signature on the Ken Miles check???

I believe it is F.L. (or F.E.) Martin, SAI's finance Manager.
