Post your favorite Yaz items

[Andrew1975]

I have lots of Carl Yastrzemski cards, but my favorite item is this small, blurry photo I took of my TV in 1983. It was "Yaz Day" (10/1/83), and at 8 years old, I was devastated that he was retiring! So I took this photo, and I have kept it for the last 33 years. Thought it might be cool to try and have him sign it sometime...

**Edited 3/6/17 - I originally posted that this was his last game. After "Yaz Day", he actually played one last game on 10/2/83.

Now that's pretty damn cool.

I made a big trade with another Yaz collector. The key for him was getting my 71 team issue PSA 9 and sending me his PSA 6. The key for me was landing this next card. I've wanted to own it for a long time and never thought I'd ever own a copy in this high of a grade.



Here were the other really key cards I landed:





The 68 Venz helps both my Yaz and Venz registries. I usually don't show back damage on my Venezuelans, but I thought this one was kind of cool. Some of you know that most of these cards were glued into albums. Here you can see remnants of that album and still make out some of the Spanish words.

Here are some other really good cards I got in the trade:





I like that the Burger Chef disc isn't oversized like most of the MSA discs.

Some OK cards:






And finally these last cards are just set fillers, all of which I plan to upgrade eventually:

Nice collection of Yaz's, Dan!

Great cards and premiums posted so far! Here are a few Yaz items that I do not think have been posted yet (along with others that might have been as I did not check the thread as thoroughly as I probably should have).

Was waiting for a thread about Yazawa.

Thanks Alan, those are awesome! I only have 3 of them. I have an Atlantic Oil Tony C, but not the Yaz. Can you identify the first one? I've seen them on eBay but none of the books have helped me figure out who issued the postcards and when.
