Default Yankees

For the past 40 yrs or so I have tried to collect everyone who has played for the Yankees, and particularly in a Yankee uniform. If no BB card exists, I search for original photos in a Yankee uni, and in absence of either a card or photo, I collect autographs, non-NYY cards and non-NYY original photos. I will use original pages from guides, original team photos, etc as well. A particular subset is players with only a single game as a Yankee. My latest purchase is a 1926 photo of George Kiddo Davis, who after graduating from NYU had one game. It is a wide-ranging collection including many really scarce images, type cards, an even 1 lantern slide of Boardwalk Brown, a 1915 Yankee who only appeared in a 1915 team photo otherwise. The hunt is not confined to vintage items. For example, I cannot find an original image of Rick Honeycutt in a Yankee uni. There are other post WW2 recent examples as well. Send PM if anyone wants a link to my Flickr page to get a better feel for this effort.
