This unbelievable pair of colorful displays showcases 27 tickets from the deciding game of every Yankee World Championship to date. The very first, Game 6 of the 1923 Series is here along with the 1936 to 1939 stubs representing an unprecedented 4 consecutive World Championships. All the great 1950's teams are represented as are the unforgettable 1970's clubs up through the team's modern dynasty.
This is two massive framed pieces containing small bits of baseball's greatest history. Each ticket has been graded and encapsulated by PSA/DNA and individually matted and framed into two stunning displays. The first, measuring 30" x 33" contains all the Championships from 1923 through 1952. The second measures 26" x 39" and runs from 1953 through 2009. Each ticket is graphically different from the next, representing 86 years of history and design. The number of historic stadiums represented is staggering: The Polo Grounds, Crosley Field, Sportsmans Park, Ebbets Field, Dodger Stadium, Wrigley Field and of course Yankee Stadium. Out of the 27 tickets displays it's amazing to be reminded that 8 are from Game 4, a stunning number of sweeps. The frames are in beautiful shape and have professional suspension wire on the back of each. Each ticket has been individually graded by PSA/DNA (grading from AUTHENTIC to NM-MT 8).
