Original New York Yankees 1973 Official Year Book that I have owned for nearly 50 years. In very good condition throughout, 11" x 8-1/4", 80 pages plus a large centerfold foldout (detached but complete) of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle. Wraps have very minor rubs and the inside pages are clean and bright; I provided more photos than other auctioneers of this same item to illustrate the very good condition of this yearbook - a must have for Yankees fans to see the building of the great teams that achieved success in the late 1970s, including Jim "Catfish" Hunter, Thurmon Munson, Ron Bloomberg, Elliott Maddox, Roy White, George Medich, Chris Chambliss, Lou Piniella, Sparky Lyle, and Graig Nettles. There is an excellent two-page layout of "Opposing Stars" including Rod Carew, Hank Aaron, Bobby Valentine (future manager), Brooks Robinson, Nolan Ryan, and Reggie Jackson before Reggie joined the Yankees.
I am selling my complete collection of New York Mets and New York Yankees Yearbooks and scorebooks from the late 1960s through the 1970s and into the 1980s so please check out my other auctions. Combined shipping is always an option if you buy more than one baseball related item in any given week as I have all the auctions ending on the same day each week. Thanks.
Note to Buyers: I am also selling my entire expansive geological reference library assembled over a 40-year period, including every one of my Stephen Jay Gould hardcover books, many of them signed by the author. These are relatively rare First Edition, First Printings, not latter printings or reprints, all with original dust jackets. Also on auction is my complete geological reference library, composed of original mid- to late 1800s to early 1900s New Jersey Geological Survey (NJGS) Annual Reports and Special Reports, USGS Professional Papers and Bulletins related to Atlantic Coastal Plain geology, stratigraphy, and paleontology, and long out-of-print New Jersey Geological Survey groundwater reference reports published by the NJGS from a time when they issued print versions of the State’s most important geological studies (so please see my other auctions or search for "Stephen Jay Gould" or “Geology" or under my eBay account "Rockman58"). FYI, I am also selling my entire Queen and ELO record (LPs and 45s) collection, sheet music, history of the bands, and concert our programs and also the rare Star Trek TOS TV and movie memorabilia collection.
*Combining multiple sales of books for combined shipping is absolutely possible if they are purchased during the same week. Please ignore the combined shipping invoice that eBay might send you, all they do is add all the shipping costs together - I will combine your purchases and quote you a revised shipping price. Thanks.*
**Please note: if you are bidding on a used or antique book. I do my best to accurately describe each book and identify any flaws it may have. If you have specific questions regarding its condition, please ask. I grade the books from visual inspection by browsing through to check for major defects but each page is not individually graded. Unless stated otherwise, some books will contain signs of wear and age which is normal within their age category. Note also that it is difficult to photograph slightly brownish pages of these antiquated references as my camera wants to correct that color to white; as such, any book from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s will generally have a very normal page browning even if my photos appear to be whitish or pinkish.**
***I have highlighted the Media Mail option for maximum cost savings for shipping books; however, please note that those delivery times can be as much as 7-10 days, per the USPS, depending on your location relative to where I am in southeast Pennsylvania.***
****Please consider All Sales to be Final, with no returns. Please be sure that this is the item you are looking for prior to bidding. If you have any questions about the content or condition of an item, please ask prior to placing a bid. Also, I can work with you to combine shipping on multiple auction wins to save you extra shipping costs. ****
