From the 56 years span between 1950-2006 there are 119 different New York Yankees yearbooks. There are 85 different just in the 27 year period from 1956-1982, and there are three or more different for virtually every year in that 27 year stretch including five different from one year. Different publication include Jay publishing Co., official Yankees first editions, 2nd editions, 3rd editions, and revised editions.
A 1958 New York Yankees yearbook with Yankee Stadium on the cover is worth between $75.00 - $100.00 Value is based on average prices from recently closed auctions of publications in excellent condition. Issues in mint condition or in less than excellent condition will sell higher or lower accordingly.
Common flaws include: rips, creases, staining, and loose pages. Condition is important, and even minor flaws could devalue the yearbook significantly.
There are three editions for the 1958 yearbook. The first edition roster page (p. 25) dated April 10, the second edition dated July 15, Has "Revised Edition" on the cover, and the third edition is the Jay publishing Co "Big League" edition, red white and blue cover artwork with Yankee fielder.
First editions in the case of yearbooks normally sell for less because they are sold throughout most of the year, and more are available. The added editions are printed at the end of the season, and are more rare. The second edition for the 1958 Yankee yearbook sell for about $10. -$15. more than the first. The Jay publishing Co sells for less. I have included a link below to a New York Yankees yearbook check list, and price guide.

Condition is very important in getting a price anywhere near this price. Common flaws with yearbooks would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading color, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover.
