Who are the greatest New York Yankees of all time? Were the Yankees at their best when captained by Lou Gehrig or Babe Ruth?

BABE RUTH    MICKEY MANTLE    LOU GEHRIG    JOE DiMAGGIO    YOGI BERRA   
DEREK JETER    WHITEY FORD    MARIANO RIVERA    REGGIE JACKSON    ALEX RODRIGUEZ

BOB DYLAN. In the history of folk music Bob Dylan has no equal. Begining in the 1960s he was at first an informal chronicler, and later a reluctant figurehead, of social unrest. A number of his songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.
He has received numerous awards including Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Awards. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for what they called his profound impact on popular music and American culture, "marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

Before collecting or trading in First Day Covers it is essential to educate yourself in all aspects of philately. It can be a very profitable career to get into but why not start slowly. Buy a small wholesale lot and sell them individually on eBay. When buying covers wholesale you should be prepared to pay about 5 cents per cover and until you are an expert in the subject do not pay more than 10 cents per cover.
