What is the value of a 1960 World Series program for the Yankees vs Pirates?

Pittsburgh Pirates (4) vs New York Yankees (3)

Programs from the team that won the series typically sell at a higher price. A 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates World Series program played at Forbes Field is worth about $100.-$125. in excellent - near/mint condition. A 1960 New York Yankees World Series program played at Yankee Stadium is worth $75.-$100.

As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more.

Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well the cover displays will.

The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price. Some collectors do not mind scored programs, or might prefer it scored.

A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be the 1960 WS Game 7 Played at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field. This game has been rated as one of the most exciting games in World Series history. The lead and momentum changed several times during this classic baseball game that was ultimately won by a spectacular walk-off home run by Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski.

I will leave a link below for more information on scorecards, and publications.
