 Lot 207. 7 Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series Programs or Scorecards, 1949-56. Five Dodgers and three Yankees programs. The 1949 Dodgers program is poor, missing pages 23-28. The portion that is present, which includes photos and biographical sketches of Jackie Robinson and Joe DiMaggio, has an f-g appearance. The 48-page 1952 Dodgers program is vg with the owner’s 3” x 3 ½” label on an inside page. The Yankee version, neatly scored for Game 4, is poor (and we mean it) with water damage and pages sticking together. For 1953, a two-panel Dodgers scorecard is partially scored, and “Gilliam” is misspelled in the pre-printed lineup; g with a 1” tear. A 1953 Dodgers program scored for Game 4 has a p-f front cover with writing on it and vg-ex pages. The 1956 Dodgers program has a torn cover with writing on it and vg-ex pages with miscellaneous writing on eight of them. The Yankees’ version of the 1956 program is ex-m, neatly scored for Game 4. Two pages behind the scored pages do show some ink transfer. These programs are accompanied by four reprint World Series programs: 1916 Dodgers-Red Sox, 1920 Dodgers-Indians and 1947 and 1956, Dodgers-Yankees. The 1956 reprint shows scoring for Don Larsen’s perfect game. The reprints average ex-m. Proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit the Society for American Baseball Research, a non-profit membership organization open to all that fosters the research, preservation, and dissemination of the history and record of baseball.
