Lot #997 1962 Full Mets Yearbook run w/variations 1962 - 2014 (102 pcs)

The offered lot is an incredibly comprehensive run of New York Met yearbooks from 1962 through 2014. From a remarkable Mets collection, this has almost every conceivable variation, making this one of the most complete runs extant. There are some Spanish versions of the Mets yearbooks and other related pieces. Condition is strong overall. There are two different 1962s (3rd and four edition), four different 1963s, four different 1964s, four different 1965s, four different 1966s, three different 1967s, two different 1968s and 1969s and four different 1971s. The time and effort to put a run like this together is simply tremendous. These many variations of course provide for huge breakdown potential for a dealer but we sincerely hopes this extremely labor intensive collection ends up in the hands of a collector. There are likely very few runs in existence that are this comprehensive. In terms of specific condition, the 1962 3rd edition is a bright and crisp VG-Ex/Ex with a very fine crease by the lower right corner; the fourth edition is a bright, crisp and very attractive Ex. The various desirable 1963 issues are Ex to Ex-Mt overall, the 1964 issues are closer to Ex-Mt/NM overall with some Near Mint; the remaining 1960s issues appear to be 80% Ex-Mt or better, the balance mostly Ex. The later issues average Near Mint overall. Please note the value of just the 1960s programs will easily be over $2,000.
