Greetings all. Being new here I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Rob and I am a NYY fan. I mostly collect game used items and autographs with Yogi Berra being the focus of my collection. I am sure many of you will be more than thrilled to have another Yankee fan around but I am what I am

Your Yogi fetish give me a chance to show off a item I received as a TTM many years ago as a kid and recently got it back from PSA/DNA. I thought about selling it a month or so ago because money was tight and I am glad it didnt sell.
Yankees & Giants here; it has always been thus, and thus it shall remain...

Great item! Never sell anything from your childhood unless you absolutely have to. Regrets are never fun.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

How can we be upset with another Yankee fan.
Welcome.
I was a Yanks fan when I went to Columbia U in NYC - really like going to the games.
I collect some Yanks stuff - tho I'm more partial to Brooklyn.
If you look at my sig line you will see something that really happened here - the guy was clueless about the Berk Ross set - what do ya think?
Poster #1: "I'm looking for any Yogi Berra cards." Poster #2: "I've got a PSA 5 '51 Berk Ross." Poster #1: " No thanks - I'm only interested in Berra."
Don't be a stranger - I'll be interested to see what you pick up. No jacket required!

Pretty funny but that could have been me at one time. I started collecting in 1983 and all anyone talked about was Topps & Bowman. Nobody really cared about Fleer or Donruss yet. I don’t think the early Beckett rags mentioned Berk Ross either. I first learned about that brand at a card show around Christmas 1985. These days with the internet new collectors have such an advantage. You can become fairly knowledgeable in two weeks. We had a bad storm a couple of years ago and our internet was down for 3 days. I thought I was going to die
Games are great. I was glued to the stadium as a kid.

The bleachers in the late 70s were a buck fitty!
We got there early so we could sit right on top of Reggie!
Best fight I ever saw? A guy was kinda drunk - he kicked a lady's beer over - she told him to buy her another - he told her to f-off - she jumped him!
That's right - jumped him and started beating him with her bag - then she pulled off her shoe! And somehow, it wound up in centerfield!
Lucky - it was between innings - Mickey Rivers casually ran it down and tossed it back into the bleachers!
Good times!

Since you are a Brooklyn fan, do any Curt Davis fans exist? My neighbor in the mid 80's gave me an original photo signed by him and after all this time I still have it for some reason. I remember he told me he got it from him in the early 1940s. He must have been a common player because I have never heard of him. It reads To Nick (my old neighbor) a swell fellow, Curt Davis
<< <i>welcome and i did think that just what we need another yankee fan >>

Wow - not me. I followed the team from 1955 till they moved! I still resent that - as do others. I stopped being a fan after that - but I still like to collect stuff from that era.
My favorite - the WS press pins for both the Yanks and Dodgers from 1955 and 1956 - of course '55 was special - in that it was the first and last WS they won in NYC.
And here's a Yanks 2003 WS pin that I picked up recently:
And I think I picked this one up in November: 1981 WS - Steinbrunner went nuts during this WS! The box is scratched and frosted - pin is a nice Nm-mt.

Those pins are great! As for the Brooklyn photo I guess I will shove it into a box and pull it out in another 20 or so years.
Coming from a true Red Sox fan....
Oh OK, have fun loser!
