1941 Play Ball #71 Joe DiMaggio PSA 5 EX
1941 YANKEE CLIPPER!!! The 1941 campaign would see "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio turn the baseball world upside down via his iconic 56-game hitting streak. A bona fide super hero, Joe D's record-setting hit streak proudly stands as one of our national pastime's greatest achievements. Likewise, this outstanding PSA 5 EX 1941 Play Ball DiMaggio issued during that illustrious season reveals record-breaking aesthetics for any mid-grade example. The classic batting pose portrays pack-fresh quality, set against a deep violet and two-tone green hued background as the Yankee Clipper completes his mighty swing via an image originally taken by legendary photographer George Burke. No glaring surface blemishes are evident on either side, with the assessment due to even corner wear and a faint wrinkle in the lower right quadrant. One of the most coveted of all Joe DiMaggio cards, it conjures up memories of one of baseball's most historical feats, with this offering's splendid eye appeal truly exceeding the technical assessment!
