Can someone explain to me why the Yankees Team Card is not included? I can understand why All-Star and Leader type cards are not included....but to not include the Yankees Team Card in a Yankees team set just seems ridiculous to me. In my opinion, it is an essential part of the team set.

I agree with you, Fatcat. Either it was an oversight, or it was left out along with the other "special" cards. like MVP, All Star, etc. I guess they only wanted to include the primary cards. I would agree taht it should be included.

Also, what about #68 Deron Johnson or #349 Danny McDevitt? Did they get traded or something before the season started? Or maybe, they are only including the starters and pitchers?

In any case, I didn't even know the registry set existed. I'll have to go register!
