Autographs

Pride of New York Autographs

Inserted at a stated rate of one per pack, these 88 cards feature authentic autographs from either retired Yankee players or people associated with the franchise in some way. This set included the first certified autographed cards for figures such as Yankee GM Brian Cashman, and actors John Goodman and Jason Alexander. Bud Metheny was supposed to sign cards for this product but he passed away before he could sign his cards. In addition, Cashman, Goodman, Dwight Gooden, and Yogi Berra did not return their cards in time for inclusion in this product and we have notated that information with an EXCH in our checklist. David Cone signed some of his cards in time for inclusion and others were available as an exchange card. Collectors could redeem those cards until March 27th, 2006. Upper Deck announced some shorter print runs and we have put that stated print run information next to the player's name in our checklist.
