Roy DeMeo Signed Personal Check to Family Member, March 20, 1981, PSA/DNA Certified Autograph – Cert. #83952333
Description:
Original personal check signed by Roy DeMeo (1940–1983), dated March 20, 1981, and drawn on Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company of Brooklyn, New York. The check is made payable to a member of the DeMeo family, with Roy personally writing out the surname "DeMeo" on the payee line in his own hand. The check is completed in blue ink for $750.00 and bears DeMeo's large, unmistakable signature in the lower-right corner.
Beyond the signature itself, the document contains substantial handwritten content completed by DeMeo, including the payee designation and amount, providing collectors with a more personal example of his handwriting than a standalone autograph. The reverse displays banking endorsements and processing markings from its passage through the financial system. The check has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for preservation and display.
Historical Context:
Roy Albert DeMeo was one of the most notorious figures associated with the Gambino crime family during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Based in Brooklyn, he became a significant underworld figure whose activities and eventual downfall have been extensively documented in organized crime history.
Checks signed by DeMeo are particularly desirable because they represent authentic, day-to-day artifacts from his personal life and financial affairs. This example is especially notable because it was written to a family member and includes DeMeo's own handwritten completion of the payee line, prominently featuring the family surname. Such personal financial documents offer a more intimate glimpse into DeMeo's life than standard signed photographs or autograph cuts.
Dated March 20, 1981, this check originates from the final years of DeMeo's life, a period when he remained an influential figure within Brooklyn's organized crime circles. Surviving family-related financial documents from this era are scarce and highly sought after by collectors of organized crime history and New York underworld memorabilia.

Closing Appeal:
This PSA/DNA-certified Roy DeMeo signed check stands apart from typical DeMeo autographs by combining a bold signature with extensive handwritten content and a direct family connection. Featuring DeMeo's handwritten completion of the payee line and the prominent use of the DeMeo family name, it represents a scarce and highly personal artifact from one of the most infamous figures in organized crime history.
