First revised edition; initially issued in 1981. With hundreds of black-and-white photographs, many full page. Without original dust jacket. The previous owner painstakingly collected these signatures. Included are his player lists, marked-up statistics sheets, news clippings, and advertisement flyers for Yankees collectibles. He has also added a custom paperbag dust jacket on which he has listed Yankees (including some deceased players) as well as several Post-It notes also listing players and where they appear in the text. The book also has extensive handwritten annotations, particularly in the index and concluding pages, reflecting the owner’s attempts to get each signature. A few spots of soiling to interior, only light rubbing to binding. A near-fine copy.
