In order to be a holder in due course, the person must take the instrument for value, in good faith, without notice of any claims or defenses to the instrument, and the instrument must be complete and regular on its face. If the amount of the check is blank, the instrument is not complete and regular on its face, and therefore cannot be held by a holder in due course.
