What are the dimensions?

Wasnt really looking to sell it. Just wanted an idea of the value. $250..?? Theres no way, its not like these are just laying around in this condition meaning uncut, believe me Ive looked for 20 years. Ive had offers of $2,000.00 in the past. I mostly collect Cubs world series team items.

This one cost me $750... no wrinkles, creases, tears, water stains, missing paper, etc. And that was when the economy was good. I suppose there was a time that these went for $2K, but those days are past, and that would have been a Near Mint (or better) example.

That would look nice next to my figural cane.........

As a Cubs fan, I'm salivating.

Awesome. Didn't know these existed.

I've seen many of these at auction over the years. There are a few years featured, but as Mark said, unless near mint, these rarely reach $2,000. Here are several examples from just two major auction houses, but I could fill a page with links of this and similar pieces. I love them...but they aren't particularly rare and are extremely condition sensitive. My suggestion to you would be...take the money and RUN

This one is by far the rarest and most attractive.

Yes- they're really impressive in person, too. Just enormous, and really command attention. The only down-side is the amount of wall space they require.

I think there are 4 different variations of these. Maybe some other collectors can post the other two (not seen here already...)

Editing to say that Mike H must have posted while I was writing... should have known he would be all over this! And Mike's right about that final one... far and away the rarest version (most attractive is subjective, but I would give him that as well!)

So there are all 4 "Yard" variations, with a couple extras of a slightly differnt style. Great thread!
