Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! This is a vintage molded plastic figurine manufactured by Hartland Plastics, Inc., depicting New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra. The figure is captured in a catching stance and is dressed in the classic Yankees pinstriped home uniform. The player’s cap features a white NY logo, and the back of the jersey is marked with the number 8. The figurine includes detailed catcher’s gear, including a blue ribbed chest protector, orange and brown shin guards, and a brown catcher’s mitt. An embossed mark on the reverse at the belt line reads HARTLAND PLASTICS, INC. This item was produced as part of a series of professional athlete statues during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Condition report:
The figurine exhibits noticeable yellowing and toning of the white plastic consistent with age. Minor paint loss and surface wear are visible on the edges of the catcher\'s mitt, the shin guards, and the black cleats. The structural integrity of the plastic is sound, with no visible cracks or breaks. The removable catcher\'s mask originally sold with this figure is not present.
