Dan BrettaThere is some interest and it is a crossover collectible in that not just sports guys want those books, but there are people who collect yearbooks with famous people in them too. I don't collect them myself, but I do put some in my watchlist on ebay when they come up and just in the last week or so Thurman Munson's and Bobby Doerr's high school yearbooks were on ebay. I also look out for local ones when I go to garage sales...recent books around here which have Joba Chamberlain and Alex Gordon could net some easy money.
I have seen early Michigan yearbooks with George Sisler in them bring a premium. I believe there is a Columbia yearbook with Gehrig....I know there is a high school one with Gehrig because it's in one of my old auction catalogs...don't know what it sold for though.
