The condition of this yearbook is Fair-Good. The front covershows wear, with some creasing in the upper right corner, and a small ding/tear at the bottom right edge. There is writing on the white ball, showing players names and Maris' chase of Babe Ruth's Home Run record. The back shows wear and light staining. The spine is split 5" at the bottom and 2 1/2" at the top. There is a picture cut out on page 7 affecting about 1/4 of the page, the lower right section. On page 8, that cut impacts the roster listing. There is another picture cut out on page 17, affecting a little more than half the page, the right half. It is a picture of Bill Skowron missing. On Page 18, it affects a picture of Whitey Ford. The inside back cover, which is blank, has writing on it. Please check the scans.
Don't miss this opportunity to get this vintage Yankee yearbook of one of their World Series Championship seasons and one of the most exciting seasons in MLB history.
Payment
I would appreciate payment within three days of the end of the auction, but if additional time is needed, just let me know.
Shipping
Shipping and handling is .50. I will combine shipping for multiple purchases. If you win multiple items, please wait for me to provide you with an updated invoice reflecting your total purchases.
Why I don't offer "free" shipping.
We all know that there is no such thing as "free" shipping. The post office charges for every item they deliver. So the only way to offer "free" shipping is to build the shipping charge into the price of the item. However, often times people purchase multiple lots. By not building in the shipping charge into the price of each item, I am able to combine shipping charges, thereby saving you money. My shipping charges are very reasonable. With my safe and secure packaging, I often charge less than I spend on postage and packaging. I sincerely believe that by offering a low shipping charge along with combined shipping for multiple lots I am able to save you money in the long-run.
About Us
I am a collector just like you. I get frustrated with over-grading and people trying to profit from excessive shipping fees. I believe I am a conservative grader. I provide high quality scans and/or photos to give you the best view possible. I will disclose any defects to the best of my ability. However, if I happen to miss something, simply return the item within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
God Bless our troops fighting overseas !!
