Post your favorite Yaz items

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.

OK, if low grade rarities don't strike your fancy, how about some high grade goodness?



For those who might not know, the Red Barn disc is arguably the most difficult MSA disc; it's definitely in the discussion at least. Mine is only the 8th copy of Yaz graded by PSA. Note the Kenosha address on back. There's an even scarcer variation with no address.

Dan,

Here is my high grade addition to this thread. I believe you have seen this one but other guys here probably haven't.
