This is from their site when the artifacts first went on sale:



Can you imagine being proud to have destroyed Yankee Stadium?

(They have since changed their slogan to "Ruth built it, now you can take it home.")

I have to laugh: David, that has got to be the worst advertising I have ever seen. Not only are they proud to destroy the stadium but of course they had to rip off NYC at the same time. For these reasons I stopped buying anything from Steiner years ago. To me it felt the same as if I were buying a fur coat.

Just my feelings Jay. At least the little pieces of cardboard people collect have some character to them. Plastic seats...all ticky tack. It's subjective of course.

well, call me crazy, but i thought it was a fair price, so i bought a "new" old single seat...will sit next to the original seat i got from Jay Wolt.

MVSNYC,
I thought that the seat and back were the only original parts on the single seats because the one side shows wear on the bottom.

Sarno I miss my old seat but know its in good hands, and I like the idea
of getting the newer version (1976-2008) to display next to it.
When we go to the new Stadium next week, bring some tools and grab the 3rd version

not sure, all i know is that the seat & back are definitely from the stadium, maybe some of the sides were salvaged as well?
