The Dude's (Jeff Bridges) hand-marked checkbook from Joel and Ethan Coen's The Big Lebowski. In the opening scene, The Dude paid by check for his half and half at Ralph's. This check was handwritten by Bridges on set while shooting multiple takes of the scene, and is not the check seen in closeup in the final cut of the film.

This checkbook contains 11 matching checks issued by "Marina Bank of Venice" for "Jeffrey Lebowski" and featuring The Dude's "Venezia Avenue" address in the top left corner. The top check is hand-marked for "Ralphs" and dated "Sept 11, 1991" in blue pen with stray markings throughout. Production intentionally distressed the checkbook to appear well-used. It exhibits residue of torn checks and the binding coming undone. Dimensions: 6" x 3.25" x 0.25" (15.25 cm x 8.25 cm x 0.75 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
