Description
1950-53 Complete New York Yankees Class C Minor League Corporate Records. Incredible bound archive is the complete Yankees corporate records of the Amsterdam Exhibition Company, Inc. from the minutes of their first meeting on January 18, 1950 to their dissolution meeting on May 21, 1953. The Amsterdam Exhibition Company, Inc. owned the Class C minor league team, the Amsterdam Rugmakers of the Canadian-American League. The team was organized in 1938, and was purchased by the Yankees after the 1949 season and remained a Yankee farm club until the League's disbandment in 1951. The Yankees dissolved the corporation two years later. Included in the archive is a stock certificate signed by tough Hall of Famer George M. Weiss as president of the Amsterdam Exhibition Co., and by J. Arthur Friedman as well, certifying that "New York Yankees, Inc. is the owner of Two Hundred (200) No Par Value full paid and non assessable shares of the the capital stock of Amsterdam Exhibition Co., Inc." Also present are three documents, each signed by Weiss, related to the bank account opened by the corporation at The Bank of Nova Scotia in Quebec, and another document opening an account in Amsterdam, New York is signed twice by Weiss (as President and Director), as well as J. Arthur Friedlund, A.G. Lanier, Bruce Henry and Eugene Martin as team officers. Another intriguing page relating to a meeting of the Board of Directors is signed by Weiss, Dan Topping, Del Webb, R.A. Becker and Friedlund. Serious Yankees historians could not possibly pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this amazing archive, packed with Yankee executive signatures and the secrets of the inner workings of the farm system that made the New York Yankees the most successful franchise in the history of sports. The first flyleaf is loose, and a few of the pages have minor toning or edge chipping, but these issues are of very minor concern and do not affect the stability of the piece or the quality of the autographs it holds.
