    Who the hell would buy sod for 6k?

    The Yankees can keep all this stuff.

    Take a look at the 13 pages of junka$$ baseball cards they are trying to dump.

    Looked at a few and love how great the detail is on some of the larger images. image

    Some of the scans cut the whole bottom of the cards off.

    I expected them to do a first-class job; they didn't.

    Nothing but a bunch of VERY HIGH-priced garbage, I think.

    ALL of the mainstream media is pumping the sale, so I
    guess the money will flow in.

    those card auctions are by sportsbuy.com, formally naxcom.com ........................ not Steiner

    edited to add: Steiners prices for Yankees memorabilia is def out of this world.............I'd wait for it to hit eBay as it is usually cheaper (game worn jerseys, bats, lineup cards...etc)

    Yes, but given the hype that is on the way and the
    fact that the whole mess is being done under the NYY
    banner, it seems a better job would have been done.

    .......

    If this is what the wait has been for, they should have
    used their in house marketing boy and gone with EBAY.

    Understandable, but on the whole Yankees and MLB auctions, sportsbuy has had card auctions with bad pictures and high asking prices. Now with all the hype, im sure they will increase their sales.

    Surely you can't be serious.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    This is pretty cool. If they sold those for Memorial Stadium I would have probably bought it. Cool looking case.

    I collected an entire cannister of dirt from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium near where 3rd base was, as Brooks Robinson was my childhood hero, before they began selling the seats, signs, and lockers from the stadium. No grass though - didn;t think of that one.
    Looking to trade for, or purchase, raw or graded vintage for my baseball sets: 1927 York Caramel, 1951 Bowman, 1957 Topps, 1967-1979.

    Maybe if the sod was from the 1927 season, I would consider putting in my back yard. Not really. I was recently at Yankee stadium and remember seeing a Steiner/Yankee relationship banner. I can't remember exacting what it is, though.
