Default How do team payroll checks survive?
Posted By: David Atkatz

In 1973, when Yankee Stadium closed for renovation, the boxing mavin Burt Sugar paid an undisclosed--but not very large--sum for all the papers he could cart away. Amongst those papers were all the Ruppert/Huston and Ruppert/Barrow Yankee paychecks that went into hobby circulation, as well as numerous 1920s-1930s Yankee contracts.
Burt made out like a bandit.
