Good call.

Mine are in similar shape to yours, still buried in my garage, as my lovely wife thinks two pairs of stadium seats in the house (Wrigley & Dodger) are enough.

2022 was 60 years of being a Yankees fan.

Just picked up a Roger Repoz autographed baseball.

There's a name I haven't heard for awhile. Didn't remember him with the Yanks, but do remember him at the end of his career with the Angels.

Received this today.

"Lasorda tied what was then the National League record with three wild pitches in the first inning, the last of which caused him to get injured while covering home plate. Wally Moon spiked Lasorda on the right knee while sliding in to score after the third wild pitch. But despite a bloody gash, Lasorda went back to the mound and got the final two outs of the inning."

Added two signs from Forbes Field - I had sold off the section 215 sign a while ago and am happy to have it back in my collection.

Pretty happy with this, for my low end Giants collection. Sure, there are silver and bronze figurals out there, but if you think about it, which is more likely to survive? Silver or plastic? Somehow, someone held on to this for 60 years. The original receipt was included...purchased at H.C. Capwell's Department Store in Oakland for $1.98. 4% sales tax brought the total to $2.06. I also like how it's "by North American"...made in Hong Kong.

Whoops! Looks like the stand goes the other way.
