Default Yankee Printing Plates. Help?

Sorry I posted this originally in the wrong section. I apologize.

I picked these up today, as I was contacted via craigslist. He originally came to show me a 1941 Dodgers team ball and brought these along. (random I know) I passed on the ball and went with these instead as the ball wasn't really legible in person. I took a chance I guess but the Yankee fan inside me couldn't resist haha. Any idea to the value of something like this? I'm going to probably keep a few and frame them and sell the rest.
Thanks guys.

Can I ask a silly question? Why are you buying stuff when you have no idea what it is or what it is worth? It doesn't seem like a particularly sound investment, nor a good way to build a collection. Obviously, it is your right to do what you want, but I just think it is worth saying, particularly if it saves you from getting burned somewhere along the lines.

As for these, I do not think they are printing plates, nor do they likely carry much value given the year.

I bought them to frame some for the man cave. I was 15 when they were winning all these so it touches my heart. Didn't spend a fortune. Just was curious what they were worth. They are aluminum. If not printing plates what did you think they were?

Oh, okay. I couldn't tell from the image, but they did not look to be metal. I can't say for certain what they are, as I don't have the knowledge. The Clemens is cool though, and, being a lifelong, albeit recently disappointed, Yankees fan, I can understand. (Fortunately, I have saved a ton of money on postseason tickets given all the refunds I've gotten when their season ended earlier than expected).

Yea I hate clemens but that's actually one of my favorites. I'm gonna probably give it to my cousin who is a die hard Piazza fan for his birthday if I don't sell it. HAHA

They're not worth much. They're not the actual plates, rather something that is more of a commemorative or "limited edition" item.

Depending on the size of it and the price I would be interested in the Clemens if/when you decide to sell.
