05/12: Steiner Sports Website Begins Selling Old Yankee Stadium Memorabilia: What Are the Best Deals?
Posted by: Patrick
Sam Borden reports that Steiner Sports has begun selling memorabilia from the old Yankee Stadium on their website.
They have a section dedicated to the sale as well as areas where you can buy seats, grass and other artifacts and they have an auction area, as well.
A pair of seats will set you back $1,499.99, while a single seat will cost you $749.99. You can get specific seats, too, but tack on an extra $500 for them. You can also buy seats from the bleachers, which probably amount to short planks of wood. $399.99 for one or $699.99 for a pair.
For $50,000, it looks like you can own the sod that features the logo that was behind home plate. I'm curious as to how that gets delivered. Do the rights to Kei Igawa come with it?
If that's not in your budget, you can get a hunk of freeze dried grass for $80. A square foot of sod will cost you $120 and two square feet will cost you $280 (that math seems funny to me). You can buy sod from specific areas of the field, as well.
There is a whole host of artifacts available. Signs galore. "All Space Reserved on Game Day," "Caution: Slippery When Wet," and more. A selection of available items:
Metal Bench from the Bullpen: $7,500
Piece of Facade: $50,000 (wouldn't it be awesome to line the outside of your house with that? Who needs gutters?)
1962 Metal Championship Pennant: $500
Pleather Chair Labeled Cashman: $5,000 (yes, pleather)
Location Directory Sign: $500
"Players Wives Lounge" Sign: $750
Mini Refrigerator: $2,000
One curiosity is this Thurman Munson sign going for $3,500. I'm wondering where that sign was taken from.
This lamp from the traveling secretary's office is $350. It looks like something you might be able to get at a sporting goods store. I'm sure I can find one.
From the auction side of the site, some of the more interesting items include:
"Courage, Tradition, Heart" Sign: $950 (Current Bid)
Dugout Bat Holder: $600
Stadium Turnstile: $2,025
Trash Can: $200
If you are curious, the three cheapest things on the site, at current prices, are the freeze dried grass ($80), a telephone ($100 current bid) and the square foot of grass ($120).
The three most expensive items are the logo grass ($50,000), a piece of the facade ($50,000) and a square 20x20 sized patch of grass from the outfield ($10,000).
In considering everything on the site, I'd have to say that my best buy is the brick from Monument Park. At $149, you get a brick (good for breaking windows) in a wood and glass case. So, if you'd like to get something and you are on a budget, I'd go with that.
Someone buy all of this and invite me and Seamus over for the sweetest wiffleball game EVER.
In any case, if all goes as it should, we should be able to raise the funds to sign both Matt Holliday and John Lackey.
