Lot # 1582: 1966 New York Yankees Tri-Fold #1 Roger Maris

Extremely scarce 1966 New York Yankees Tri-Fold #1 Roger Maris. This black-and-white batting pose is printed on thin paper stock and measures 8-1/2 x 11" with three factory compacting folds. Beneath the slugger's full-body image are two paragraphs, the first with biographical information and the second notating career accomplishments. On the bottom right of the tri-fold is a union stamp along with text reading "3500-1/66" with the final digits confirming the date of production. Despite extensive fold separation throughout, this fragile artifact is intact and absent of tape repair or mounting residue. Scattered wrinkling, paper bowing, and staining does not seriously compromise this legend's overall presentation. The blank reverse is problem-free. A truly elusive artifact of the New York Yankees record breaker!
