The 1956 World Series is one of the most important fall classic's from a historical perspective. With Larsen's perfect game 5 and the culmination of Jackie Robinson's career ending with a 9-0 shellacking from the cross town rivals, this was one for the record books. We'd have to wait another 44 years before another subway series would come to fruiton in the year 2000.
Offered here is an awesome collection of memorabilia from the Series, highlighted by a complete run of PSA-graded ticket stubs from each game, and the only PSA-graded full ticket to the Larsen game. The collection includes the following:
-A complete ticket stub set from all seven games of the series, including the Game 5 stub from Larsen's perfect game. All of the stubs have been encapsulated by PSA with the Game 5 stub graded VG-EX 4. Other milestones from the series that are Mantle homers in games 1, 4 and 5, a Robinson Homer in Game 1, the Yogi Berra grand slam in game 2 and a Whitey Ford world series win in game 3.
-A 1956 World Series Game 5 Yankee Stadium Full Ticket graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. This ticket is a proof example that did not allow for admission to the actual game.
-A 1956 World Series New York Yankee Stadium Button-Tag messenger pass graded Authentic by PSA. The button tag displays in outstanding condition and is unused with the original string still attached.
-1956 World Series Press Pin in EX-MT condition. The enamel pin has the Yankees "hat and bat" logo with "1956 World Series" appearing at the top. Very vibrant colors and has little visible wear.
-A 1956 World Series Official Program in outstanding condition with only a spot of paper loss inside the Dodgers logo to note. There is also some minor edge and spine wear.
-Finally, we have a multi signed 1956 World Series Official Program. Unscored and in great condition, the program is signed on the interior by members of the Yankees: Robert Becker (team Treasurer), Jerry Coleman, Mrs. Casey Stengel, Mickey McDermott, Yogi Berra (HOF), Don Larsen, Mickey Mantle (HOF), and what appears to be an eighth signature, written atop Mrs. Stengel's signature, which may be Casey himself. Accompanied by a full LOA from PSA/DNA.
