2008 YSL set needs (for Bench charity set)

[katester44]

Since it has been truly a long time since The Bench put out a public call for cards to finish up the 2008 YSL set and get it off to auction - now may be as good a time as any.

I don't remember seeing a thread in the trading section, is has always been in the Bench News area, where not everyone may visit on a regular basis. Several members have contributed much time, effort and money to make this set happen and I think we would like to see those efforts fulfilled with a completion of the set. For the many new traders who have come on board recently, for a history of what The Bench is doing, there is a dropdown in the blue menu bar.

We are down to the final two cards needed, so take a look in those shoeboxes of yours and lets see what we can do to wrap this set up and raise some money for charity.

Last two cards from the set are:
2105 (Yogi Berra), 4767 (Ron Guidry)

If I understood everything correctly, these two cards were part of stadium only giveaways in the Bronx - so if you went to Yankee Stadium in 2008/early 2009, take a look and see if you happened to get either of these two cards.

I didn't see either of them on either site as well. I have been trying to do a search every couple of weeks on those two sites.

Still nothing....can we have someone on the other boards post our wantlist? Or post our wantlist with each card $20.00? Best regards, David

I Emailed Upper Deck this past week and told them our story. The wrote back and asked for our needed numbers. Got a reply Friday and they said sorry but they can't be any help to us.

i think that is incorrect ....from everything i found online while doing some research a few weeks (or maybe months by now) , the stadium giveaways were limited to a small promo set , not any of the actual cards in the full set....

That makes senses.....but the fact that 2105 or 4767 ....there should be lots of them. Best regards, David

That makes it even more maddening that they can't be found...

I wish...we had someone who got the free cards in Yankees Stadium and could verify that they were different or the same! Best regards, David
