1981 Coca Cola (Coke) Yankees

Yes, hopefully that finishes that set for me. I figured there are enough Winfield collectors that it would be expensive. One of the curses of set building.

There are however a bunch of unissued proof cards too. Players not in the issued sets ( Lynn for example), players on different teams from the issued sets ( Fisk and Kingman for example), players with different positions from issued sets ( Buckner for example). Not sure how many there are. I have a half dozen of them so far

Al,
Good!!! I was watching that go at the end of the auction. I had put in a bid at about 75 bucks, and then in the last hour or two it pushed past. In the last 5 minutes it got wild!!! But I was super hopeful that you were the winner. I bet you are the only one with a complete Yankees team set. Congrats!

Amazing, mystery solved!

Do the unissued Yankees cards have finished backs or are they blank?

[ALR-bishop]

Gossage, Jackson, Cerone and the Header have finished backs. The rest are blank backs from Topps Vault. I read once that the Yankee set production was halted and cancelled when the Yankees dropped Coke as a sponsor

How are you doing Andy ? Why is a football guy slumming with the baseball guys :-)
