The “Core Four” is a modern term with a throwback connotation. We will likely never see a group such as this again. All four players were drafted or originally signed by the Yankees and played together in the minor leagues, and made their Yankee debuts in 1995. By the end of the 2000s, they were the only remaining Yankees from the late 1990s Yankees dynasty that won four World Series championships in five years. All four players were also on the Yankees' active roster in 2009, when the team won its fifth World Series championship in the past 14 years. Encapsulated in a professional black frame measuring 21” x 22” x 4”. The four signatures are all done in black marker rating 6-8 with Jeter being the largest measuring 8” across just under center. The base shows game-use, and is accompanied by a JSA LOA. Item may require additional shipping charges due to weight and size.
