What is the value of a 1978 Yankee yearbook?

Answer 1

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 1978 New York Yankees yearbook with the World Series Trophy on the cover is worth between $15.00 - $20.00 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 two editions for the 1978 yearbook. The first edition roster page (p. 40) dated March 22, and the second edition dated June, Has no indication on the cover of being a different edition.

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 1978 Yankee yearbook sell for about $5. more than the first.
