Friends of Barack Obama check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Obama, "Barack Obama," payable Barack Obama for $8,000, July 1, 1997; also endorsed on the reverse by Obama. In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "GEM MT 10."
Friends of Barack Obama was his official campaign committee; at the time he signed this check, he had just taken his seat as a member of the Illinois state senate. Extremely rare in this format, this is just the third Barack Obama check we have offered—and the sole twice-signed example.
