A Real Yaz Page

Just a place where I can keep some of the Yaz stuff I've collected for viewing, (mostly cards of course). I hope the images appear on your monitor as I've laid them out here. I've also included a Yaz want list. It's at the bottom.

 Note: I am currently in the beginning of revamping this page and will probably triple the amount of images here. I'll have all the 70's, 80's and beyond photos all together as well as backs and other oddball stuff.  Check back in a week or two. 3/31/2026

1960 Topps (Rookie card)                                                       1960 Topps #148 back

The 60 and 61 cards appear to be paintings. The same one too by golly! 

1961 Topps                                                    1961 Topps #287 back                                       1962 Topps                                                     1962 Topps #425 back

1962 Jello #61                                                                          1962 Post/Canadian #61                                                         1962 Post #61                                                         

Post and Jello jumped into the baseball card business in 1961. Yaz's first cards appeared in 1962. Backs are blank. The regular Post is more of a close up of the same photo.

  1963 Jello #80                                                                       1963 Post #80

Only the Post and Jello in 1963. The Jello is a bit shorter than the Post.

1963 Topps                                                      1963 Topps #115 back                                     1964 Topps                                                      1964 Topps #210 back

The '63 and '64 Topps cards are the same but they are photos, not paintings like the '60 and '61 cards.

1963 Topps Peel-Off                                       1963 Topps Peel-Off back                             1964 Topps Stand-Up       

The 1963 Topps Peel-Offs were an insert in packs. The 1964 Topps Stand-Ups were die-cuts included in baseball card packs. The backs were blank.

1964 Topps Batting Ldrs                              1964 Topps Batting Ldrs #8 back                  1964 Topps Sox Sockers Yaz/Schilling         1964 Topps #182 back   Yaz/Kaline/Rollins                                                

Yaz made it to the leaders cards when he won the AL batting title in '63. He also got onto a Topps special card wtih Red Sox second baseman Chuck Schilling.

1965 Topps                                                      1965 Topps #385 back                                       1965 Topps Red Sox Team

The 1965 Topps Red Sox team card would be the first to show Yaz, (if you can pick him out, you're pretty sharp). His first card was in 1960 but his his first year with the Red Sox roster was 1961. Topps had team cards then. The 1959 team card was different from the 1960 team card. The team card in 1961 however, was the same as the one issued in 1960. So was the 1962, 1963 and 1964. So, all those team cards showed players from the 1960 team, of which, Yaz was not a part. This team card picture lasted 3 years, '65. '66, '67. There was no '68 or '69 Red Sox team cards and the 1970 one was a new one.

1965 Topps Red Sox Team #403 back                                     1965 Topps Embossed                                    1965 Topps Embossed #1 back

1966 Topps                                                      1966 Topps #70 back                                      1966 O-Pee-Chee                                             1966 O-Pee-Chee #70 back

One of my favorite Yaz cards. O-Pee-Chee gets into the game with an identical, except the CR on back, card.

1966 Topps Batting Leaders Oliva/Yaz/Davalillo                1966 Topps Batting Leaders #216 back

This card did not make it into the O-Pee-Chee set.

1966 Topps Red Sox Team                                                      1966 Topps Red Sox Team #259 back                                      1966 Topps Rub-Off

Same photo as 1965. Also did not come in the O-Pee-Chee set. The 1966 Rub-Off was a pack insert

                                                                         1967 Topps                                                       1967 Topps #355 back

The 1967 Yaz card as well as the Red Sox Team card, below were numbered too high to get into the O-Pee-Chee sets which printed only the first couple of hundred or so of Topps cards at this time.

1967 Topps Red Sox Team                                                    1967 Topps Red Sox Team #604 back

Surprise! It's the same photo as 1966 and 1965.

1968 Topps                                                      1968 Topps #250 back

Yaz won the Triple Crown in 1967 so naturally, he shows up on a few Topps cards. O-Pee-Chee's number cut off was too low to have a regular card of the Triple Crown winner.

1968 Topps Batting Ldrs Yaz/FRobinson/Kaline                1968 Topps RBI Ldrs Yaz/Killebrew/FRobinson                  1968 Topps HR Ldrs Yaz/Killebrew/FHoward

Yaz landed atop all the AL offensive leader cards in 1968.

1968 Topps Batting Leaders #2 back                                  1968 Topps RBI Leaders #4 back                                             1968 Topps Home Run Leaders #6 back

                                                       1968 O-Pee-Chee RBI Leaders

I am still missing the O-Pee-Chee Batting and Home Run Leader cards.

                                                                                                 1968 O-Pee-Chee RBI Leaders #4 back

1968 Topps World Series Game 2                                         1968 O-Pee-Chee World Series Game 2                                1968 Topps Yastrzemski All-Star

O-Pee-Chee did present a World Series subset but there was no Yaz All-Star card.

1968 Topps World Series Game 2 #152 back                       1968 O-Pee-Chee World Series Game 2 #152 back            1968 Topps Yastrzemski #369 back

1968 Topps 3rd series ckl 'the scores'         1968 Topps 3rd series ckl 'the scores'           1968 Topps 3rd series ckl 'your scores'       1968 Topps 3rd series ckl 'your scores'                                                                         #192 back                                                                                                                                  #192 back

Two Topps checklists with wording variation in the ad box.

                                                                                                                                                  1968 Topps Game #3                                          1968 Topps Game back

There is a O-Pee-Chee version of the 3rd series checklist. Don't have it yet. No O-Pee-Chee version of the Game inserts

1969 Topps                                                     1969 Topps #130 back                                     1969 O-Pee-Chee                                            1969 O-Pee-Chee #130 back

The O-Pee-Chee back had more differences from the Topps card than in the past.

1969 Topps Yastrzemski All-Star                1969 Topps Yastrzemski All-Star #425 back                                                             1969 Topps Decal

No All-Star card from O-Pee-Chee. The Decals were one insert used in 1969.

1969 Topps Deckle                                          1969 Topps Deckle #4 back                              1969 O-Pee-Chee Deckle                                 1969 O-Pee-Chee Deckle UN back

The Topps Deckle has a blue facsimile autograph and blue info on the back. The O-Pee-Chee has a black autograph and a blank back and is unnumbered.

1970 Topps                                                     1970 Topps #10 back                                      1970 O-Pee-Chee                                              1970 O-Pee-Chee #10 back

The Yaz card had an O-P-Chee version with the French/English text.

1970 Topps Yastrzemski All-Star                 1970 Topps Yastrzemski All-Star #461 back

1970 Topps Boston Red Sox team                                                                  1970 Topps Boston Red Sox team                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    #563 back

No O-Pee-Chee Yaz All-Star or Red Sox team card. There were no Topps team cards issued for the Red Sox in '68 or '69. Also, this 1970 version is a new team photo.

1970 Topps Scratch-Off                                                                                                          1970 Topps Scratch-Off inside

The Scratch-Off games were inserted in packs. The 1970 versions had black scratch boxes on a white background.

1971 Topps                                                     1970 Topps #530 back

O-Pee-Chee did cover this card even though it is a fairly high number. I do not have one yet, unfortunately.

1971 Topps Batting Ldrs AJohnson/          1971 Topps Batting Ldrs #61 back                  1971 O-Pee-Chee Batting Ldrs                   1971 O-Pee-Chee Batting Ldrs #61       Yaz/Oliva                                                                                                                                    AJohnson/Yaz/Oliva                                    back 

Green backs for the Topps and Yellow for the O-P-Chee

1971 Topps HR Ldrs FHoward/                  1971 Topps HR Ldrs #65 back                       1971 O-Pee-Chee HR Ldrs FHoward/           1971 O-Pee-Chee HR Ldrs #65 back Killebrew/Yaz                                                                                                                           Killebrew/Yaz

Yaz made it onto two AL Leaders cards in 1971. The Batting and the Home Run Leaders.

1971 Topps Boston Red Sox Team                                                              1971 Topps Red Sox Team #386 back 

A new team photo 2 years in a row. A record I think.

1971 O-P-Chee Boston Red Sox Team                                                        1971 O-P-Chee Red Sox Team #386                                                                                                                                                                                                                                back

1971 Topps Scratch-Off                                                                                                          1971 Topps Scratch-Off unnumbered inside

The inside of the 1971 Topps Scratch-Off were black on a red background. The outside, (back and front), were identical to the 1970 Scratch-Offs

1971 Dell Today's Team Stamps                    1971 Dell Stamps UN back       

A little something other than Topps and O-Pee-Chee for a Yaz issue in the 70's. The Dell Stamps were unnumbered. They came in team sets.

1972 Topps                                                    1972 Topps #37 back                                        1972 O-Pee-Chee                                            1972 O-Pee-Chee #37 back

Once again O-Pee-Chee had a copy of Yaz's Topps card with the French/English text on back.

1972 Topps In Action                                    1972 Topps In Action #38 back                       1972 O-Pee-Chee In Action                          1972 O-Pee-Chee In Action #38 back

Both the Topps and O-Pee-Chee Yastrzemski In Action cards.

1972 Topps Boston Red Sox Team                                                              1972 Topps Boston Red Sox #328 back

The Topps team card is here, the O-Pee-Chee card is not.

1973 Topps                                                     1973 Topps #245 back                                    1973 O-Pee-Chee                                              1973 O-Pee-Chee #245 back

I have both the Topps and O-Pee-Chee Yaz versions.

1973 Topps Boston Red Sox Team                                                               1973 Topps Red Sox Team #596 back

The Topps version above and the O-Pee-Chee version below.

  1973 O-Pee-Chee Boston Red Sox Team                                                   1973 O-Pee-Chee Red Sox #596 back

This was an insert set with both the Topps and O=Pee-Chee sets. I am still searching for the O-Pee-Chee version.

1974 Topps                                                    1974 Topps #280 back

Have not found an affordable O-Pee-Chee card of Yaz yet.

1974 Topps Boston Red Sox Team                                      1974 Topps Red Sox Team #567 back

1974 O-Pee-Chee Boston Red Sox Team                            1974 O-Pee-Chee Red Sox Team #567 back                                               

These team cards actually have a Yastrzemski inset photo on the top right of the team shot. Easy to tell the difference with the green and yellow backs.

1974 Topps Red Sox Team Checklist          1974 Topps Red Sox Team Checklist             1974 O-Pee-Chee Red Sox Team                   1974 O-Pee-Chee Red Sox Team                                                                                 UN back                                                            Checklist                                                          Checklist UN back

These are inserts in the 1974 Topps and O-Pee-Chee sets. It may be a little silly to count them as Yaz cards just because his signature is on the card and I'm still debating the issue. I did see them listed on another Yaz list and I guess I just copycatted.
