Does the PCI Standard apply to storing information about paper checks

Does the PCI DSS standard apply to providers that solely work with check by phone ?

i.e collecting

1) Account numbers 2) Routing numbers 3) Check number

in other words - no credit cards

The title of the standard is the best clue: Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standard. It applies to the storage of payment card details.

Check page 7 of the PCI DSS standard here: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/pci_dss_v2.pdf

Checks do not normally have a payment card primary account number printed on them so PCI-DSS would not normally apply.
