SPECIAL NOTE: Buy with confidence! I have been an avid baseball card collector since 1960 and have been grading sports cards for mail order sales since 1978. I've been selling on eBay since March 1999 and have an excellent customer feedback record. I promise you honest and reliable service with quick and secure shipping. I treat buyers the very same way I want to be treated when I make purchases on eBay. Click on the "View Other Items" in this listing to see some other vintage baseball cards that I am currently offering.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is an authentic Boston Red Sox team card featuring Hall of Fame great Carl Yastrzemski (front row on bench, second from right). This card is a 7th Series high number. This card has no overly serious corner wear, great centering and no creases. A fair grade would be EX/EX+. The card looks nice to the naked eye. The card has been measured in size and assuredly has not been trimmed or altered. Study closely the accompanying photos for your own thoughts on condition and centering. Any glare, blurriness or shadows on the accompanying photos are from my scanner/camera and not on the card itself. The buyer will receive the very same item shown in the accompanying photos. I do not end auctions early and no offers will be considered. All of my eBay items come from a pet and smoke-free home.

SHIPPING: The high bidder will pay $0.89 for shipping using eBay's Standard Envelope method. The card will be shipped via regular USPS First Class mail in a 3-3/4" by 6-1/2" envelope. The card will be placed for shipping in a plastic sleeve between two pieces of thin cardboard. Single card orders with a high bid of $10 or higher will be shipped in a semi-rigid holder. The sleeve/holder and cardboard should adequately serve as protection during shipping, but if you want the card shipped in a padded envelope with thick cardboard, then let me know that before you pay and I will provide you with an invoice that reflects a USPS Ground Advantage shipping charge of $5.99. Orders totaling $20 or more will be shipped at USPS Ground Advantage rates. Orders totaling 5 or more cards will be shipped at USPS Ground Advantage rates. Should you have any problems with an item that I have shipped to you via Standard Envelope, please be kind enough to contact me first before contacting eBay or posting feedback. Whatever the issue might be, we will get it resolved.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I do combine shipping at an advantageous discount rate on winning bids/purchases that fall within a 5-day period. Combined shipping will vary depending on where the buyer lives in the U.S. I am in Pennsylvania, so it’s much cheaper for me to ship to those close to me as opposed to shipping to the West Coast. If you live close to me, there may be no extra shipping charge or a minimal extra charge. As for multiple winning bids involving cards that are being offered via Standard Envelope, keep in mind that three ounces is the maximum weight allowed. USPS Ground Advantage will be used on combined shipping orders over three ounces. For combined shipping on orders weighing 16 or more ounces, I usually use eBay’s shipping calculator. The bottom line is that I do not gouge on shipping – I’m just looking to break even. Media Mail items like books can only be combined with other Media Mail items - that's a postal regulation. On occasion, I utilize re-used top loaders, card sleeves and padded envelopes.
