I saw this check on ebay from Jim made out to Dean Manuel for the amount of 605 dollars. It's dated September 29th, 1960. It's selling for 495 dollars and comes in a clear plastic case. There are other Jim Reeves items listed there too, and some of the asking prices are in the thousands. There's another check there from Jim to Bell telephone, apparently to pay his phone bill. There are other interesting items there as well...

Really good find Mike. Thank you for sharing. The picture is very clear and seems in excellent condition. I can't believe this even exists.

That was a lot of money back in 1960. I looked up the value in today's numbers and it equates to a staggering $6,290.39 in US dollars. An increase of $5,690.39 over 64 years.

I can not recall ever seeing this anywhere. Has anyone else seen this before? ....Just wondering and thanks again Mike for posting this unique item...

Hi Roy,
Just thought you would like to know I also have a couple of cheques Jim made out to - George E Jackson (Leo) and the other one I have is made out to- Joyce Gray (Jackson) Jims secretary. They were readily available a few years ago when I purchased my two. I don't think the seller was aware of who George E jackson was as I got it for $50. Quite a bargain at todays prices.

Wow Kenneth, you made off like a bandit on the $50.00 purchase. Both cheques you have are very rare for sure and a great addition for any Jim Reeves collection.

Thank you for posting and hope to see more.

Hope all is well in Scotland. Here in Eastern Canada in Nova Scotia (once referred to as New Scotland) because of our close connection thru Scottish migration to our province starting in the 1600's. We have town names like Aberdeen, Argyle and many more. just thought you would find this an interesting connection.
