Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life

I’m not a sports memorabilia collector but I am a fan and item popped up on a Facebook page that really rings the alarm bells as a fake.
It’s a canceled check written by a famous retired athlete in 1979.
The check is written to “Visa”. I’ve had credit cards since around 1980 and I don’t ever remember writing checks directly to Visa. Aren’t the checks written directly a back such as Chase or Bank of America?
The amount of the check was $100. Seems like it may be a minimum payment but for a retired sports figure worth at least $5 million this amount seems like it could be fake.
Old guys — do you remember writing checks direct to VISA?
Got something to say?
