This meticulously curated piece offers a window into one of the most celebrated eras in baseball history, featuring a combination of autographed photographs and a vintage program that captures the essence of the Yankees’ golden age.
The 1961 Official Program and Scorecard
At the heart of this collection lies the “NEW YORK YANKEES – 1961 – OFFICIAL PROGRAM AND SCORECARD,” a relic priced at a mere 15 cents during its time. This program is a testament to the Yankees’ dominance in the early 1960s, a period marked by their remarkable World Series victory. The program is surrounded by eight 8” x 10” autographed photos, each a piece of history in its own right.
Autographed Legends
The collection features a stunning array of autographed photographs, each signed by a Yankee legend:
- Clete Boyer, Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, and Joe Pepitone: A group photo capturing the camaraderie and skill of these iconic players.
- Mickey Mantle: The legendary center fielder, known for his powerful switch-hitting prowess.
- Elston Howard: The first African American player in Yankees history, a trailblazer and MVP.
- Ralph Houk: The esteemed manager who led the Yankees to multiple championships.
- Roger Maris: Known for his record-breaking 61 home runs in 1961, though JSA was unable to authenticate his signature.

- Bill “Moose” Skowron: A key player in the Yankees’ lineup, known for his clutch hitting.
