★ MUSEUM-GRADE 1999 NEW YORK YANKEES WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS ZIPPO ARCHIVAL SET ★
★ SUPPLY MONOPOLY NOTICE: THE ONLY 100% COMPLETE SLEEVED SURVIVOR ONLINE ★
If you look across the current secondary market, you will quickly see the extreme scarcity of this item. The only other factory-new unit available is listed at $199.00 and is completely MISSING its original outer cardboard sleeve packaging. This listing represents the absolute highest-grade example in existence—featuring the 100% untouched orange factory safety seal AND the ultra-rare original blue outer cardboard sleeve wrapper (marked ZIPPO/MLBP 2000). A flawless time-capsule investment piece.
★ CRITICAL HISTORICAL NOTE: NOVEMBER 1999 ("K XV") FIRST-RUN PRODUCTION ★
This premium unit features the highly desirable "K XV" factory bottom stamp. The letter "K" authenticates this exact unit as a true November 1999 production piece—pressed at the Bradford, PA factory in the historic weeks immediately following the Yankees' legendary October 27th World Series sweep. It represents the absolute first, authentic celebratory release wave.
