Post your favorite Yaz items

A few recent Yaz pickups (and a few more on the way).




The disc is a 1978 Saga Disc. I also bought some Red Sox pocket schedules with Yaz on them. Two 1979 WITS radio and one 1980 TV 38. I already had one copy of each, but these were different back variations:




My favorite one is Terrible Ted. Dude was such a fanatical collector of pocket schedules that he took out an ad on a pocket schedule, presumably looking for more pocket schedules.

I came across this Yaz item the other day and really liked the image. It didn't have any bids so I decided to take it for the minimum. The AH description alleged it as a rare issue, but this outfit throws that term around pretty liberally. I didn't see it among the items posted in this thread though so is it somewhat uncommon?

All the 60s and 70s Red Sox team issues are pretty scarce. I've never seen that one before.

Beckett lists a black & white set from 1971, not a color one. Unfortunatrly, it looks like PSA labeled them the same and lumped them together in the pop report. Here is my b&w from the same year:

Thanks for the info Dan.

Glad I could contribute something you haven't seen before to the thread. Certainly unfortunate that PSA didn't differentiate between the two issues.

To give you an idea of scarcity, PSA says they've only graded 13 "1971 team issue" yaz cards, which include all b&w like mine and color like yours. I've seen at least 4 of them and they were all like mine. Very few of the 13 are you card. In fact yours might be the only one. So yes, it's scarce. Would you mind PMing me what you paid for it at auction? That would help me in the future.

Edit: after more research, I believe your card is mislabeled. With that being said, the Beckett Almanac was no help in determining what it is, nor was the PSA Yaz registry. I have emailed PSA, because I'm curious of what your card actually is. I'll let you know what they say.

Sent you a pm with the link. Appreciate your research and knowledge.

You're welcome.

A guy I know is breaking his Yaz set. I was able to pick up 5 of his cards and these were the first 2 to arrive:




The Atlantic Oil card is my favorite of the 2. Extremely condition sensitive, from a contest.
