MY YANKEE STADIUM LEGACY CARDS COLLECTION! CHECK THIS OUT!

As you can see, I've added a few more of the Yankee Stadium Legacy cards to my collection. I think I had about 30 before and now I have 140 with only a very few being doubles. And I was lucky enough to get the Babe Ruth #1 card out of 6,661 cards that are going to be put out! Oh well, I love 'em. They are so cool! So I'm gonna update my collection and show 'em here! Enjoy! If anyone has any to sell, please let me know. Either leave a comment here or email me at dfree46@aol.com.
