Recap.... The serial number one note is a "home run" and well worth slabbing. The Picasso note may be fake but without seeing it "up close and personal" I cannot say for sure. Your LCS guy says it looks real, so send it in and find out. The blank front note (missing the 2nd printing) is real. That would be something very difficult to fake.
Be sure and post any of your other currency discoveries. We like to see "new" old stuff like large size notes, high denominations, National bank notes and the weird and unusual errors.
So far, so good and Thx for posting the finds!

There are several grading companies to choose from. I suggest either PMG or PCGS.

Fasinating notes! I hope that triple print turns out to be legit.

The large size notes were pulled in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Yogi's playing career was in the 1950's to early 60's (I think) and these notes were long gone from circulation when he played. He could have signed it but I doubt it.
My Dad was a milk man and I quizzed him before he died about when things quit circulating and he said the last time he got a large bill in circulation was just after the big war. A lot of money was rat holed during the War and when it was finally over in late 1945 the money started coming out of hiding.
Anyway, compare that signature on the bill with some of Yogi's known autographs on the internet and you will get some idea if it's close or not. If you think it's close you can send it to PSA for verification/authentication.
You could also try to get on Pawn Stars with it and let Rick humiliate you with a 20$ offer "cause it's in such bad shape"!

Im not concerned with it being real. My grandfather knew him personally. I have had dinner with him multiple times over the years because if there friendship. I'm sure he had it signed at some point in time. Someone else mentioned psa and jsa for authentication. They are both located 20 min from my home. Ill have to reach out to them as there is quite a bit of sports autographs and I dont really want. Its not my thing
As far as the note, I find it cool as it is much larger then a regular one. I also found one similar sized but with an eagle on it. Ill post pics

Quote: I have had dinner with him multiple times over the years Did you go to that place that nobody goes to any more because it's always so crowded?

Sorry, It's a joke. Yogi is famous for some of his quotes like... "It's like deja vu all over again" and "No one goes there any more because it's always so crowded"

Haha I have been told hes famous for saying "dumb" things. I remember my grandfather saying one time that yogi was either playing or a coach. Someone hit a ball that was questionable (fair vs foul). It went into the stands if course and an argument started. Yogi said "the ump must be blind, you can clearly hear the ball hitting the cement". I had many cool experiences with sports guys, but I never asked for an autograph. I kinda think its cool on paper money
