The collection features players Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Roger Clemens, David Cone, Mike Stanton, Luis Sojo, and Chad Curtis, along with coaches Mel Stottlemyre and Tony Cloninger. A special tribute card of Yankees legend Babe Ruth is also included. An introductory parchment-style page provides a historical summary of the team’s 25th championship season. The set is officially authorized by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. The front cover is personalized with the name John L. Funderburg Jr. in gold leaf.
