No professional team has ever dominated its respective sport like the Yankees. The Montreal Canadiens have come closest with 24 titles under their belts. Then the Celtics rank next with 17 championships followed by the Packers with 13. But none of them can remotely compete with the year-in-year-out staying power of the 27-time champion Yankees who incredibly between 1923 and 2009 captured one or more World Series triumph in every decade except the 1980s. That's 8 of 9 decades"”at an average of one championship almost every three years! Here is perhaps the most telling sign of the Bronx Bombers' global takeover: The St. Louis Cardinals boast the next highest franchise championship total ... with a measly 11. And after that? The Giants have 8 and Dodgers have 6. Therefore the Yanks claim more crowns than the runner-up Cards Giants and Dodgers combined!
Presented here is a collecting achievement fitting of the team legacy it celebrates: One World Series ticket stub (or full) from each of the Yankees' 27 championship clinching games. Bookended by the first Championship in "The House That Ruth Built" (1923) and the first in new Yankee Stadium (2009) this assembly is amazing not only for its completeness but its composite condition. All are encapsulated by PSA and graded or designated "AUTHENTIC". The set is presently ranked as the #2 finest on PSA's Set Registry with an overall GPA of 5.731. The set includes:
