1941 Play Ball #71 Joe DiMaggio PSA 6 EX-MT
1941 YANKEE CLIPPER!!! The 1941 campaign would see "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio turn the baseball world upside down with his iconic 56-game hitting streak. A veritable super hero, Joe D's record-setting hit streak stands as one of our national pastime's greatest achievements and is the sole reason Ted Williams was not MVP in 1941 after batting .406. This outstanding PSA 6 EX-MT 1941 Play Ball DiMaggio issued during that illustrious season reveals breathtaking aesthetics for any mid-grade example. The classic batting pose portrays pack-fresh quality, set against a deep plum and two-tone green hued background as the Yankee Clipper completes his mighty swing with an image originally taken by legendary photographer George Burke. No glaring surface blemishes are evident on either side, with the assessment due to light left edge wear and a moderate OC favoring the upper right corner. In 1941, DiMaggio won his second of three MVP awards and posted a virtually untouchable mark of 56 games with a base hit or better that will likely never be achieved again. One of the most coveted of all Joe DiMaggio cards, this brings back memories of one of baseball's most historical feats, with this offering's splendid eye appeal truly exceeding the technical assessment!
