My Yankees Project

Because Beckett changed its message board, I've decided to start a thread devoted to my Yankees Poster on the PSA Boards. I'm currently at 74 signatures on the poster. I will mat the poster around cut signatures of Yankees greats as well as (hopefully) a ticket stub from the 1923 Opening Day and the 2008 Final Regular Season game,

    I think I would have worded this a little differently.

    Usually Beckett board means spoiled 16 year old geek on his laptop. BTW, awesome project!

    I like it because I can actually look at most of the autos and tell who they are.

    Beckett was the first hobby board I joined and I started a thread on this project in 2007. From what I've seen on this board I know many members don't like Beckett but the quoted sentence was the truth. I will eventually post a list of players on the poster and those I would like on the poster.

    A few things that are cool about the poster are as follows:

    Yogi Berra doesn't usually do inscriptions in person
    Willie Randolph is a hard to get autograph and hasn't had an autograph signing in about a decade
    Whitey Ford inscribed it "Chairman of the Board"

    It is scheduled to be signed by the following:
    Derek Jeter
    Joe Torre
    Gil McDougald
    Dave Winfield
    Wade Boggs
    Rick Rhoden

    Wow, I am very impressed! That has got to be one of the coolest projects I have seen! Granted, I am a Yankees fan and biased.

    Thanks, I am posting updates on sportscollectors.net but I remembered this thread and I'm bored at work so I bumped it with a new picture.

    Very Nice!

    How long have you been working on this project?

    I ask this, because 80 year old Whitey Ford's auto particularly caught my eye, as it is very neat and clear.

    His more recent autos are kind of scribbley, yet respectfully expected of someone his age.

    I remember hearing that Whitey Ford no longer adds "Chairman of the Board" to anything he
    signs!

    Be sure to post more pics as you progress image

    I believe that Whitey will be in Long Island, NY this weekend signing at the card show in Hofstra University.

    Edited to add: On the website for the show it says no more chairman of the board inscriptions.

    I like how the 3 perfect game pitchers all signed together. That's really a nice project, and a true 1/1.

    Isn't that the birthday card George Castanza was supposed to get for Mr. Steinbrenner ? (Seinfeld)

    Kramer gave it to a little kid in the hospital - then took it back - only to promise Paul O'Neal would hit TWO homeruns for the kid ?

    Wow - that's a great signed poster.

    Reggie is under Whitey Ford, to the right of Mattingly and to the left of Dave Winfield close to Right Field. Thanks everyone for the kind words.
