(LOT 50)
1939 Play Ball #26 Joe DiMaggio PSA 8 NM-MT

THE YANKEE CLIPPER!!! Issued the year Joltin' Joe would lead the Yankees to their fourth consecutive world championship, DiMaggio's 1939 Play Ball subject is one of his quintessential cardboard subjects, residing as a perfect testament to his bona fide stature as a true embodiment of a national hero. Presented here is that revered 1939 Play Ball keepsake in an outstanding PSA 8 holder, and most significantly, the card's awe-inspiring feature is the near-perfect centering that has eluded a majority of most 1939 Play Ball subjects.

The awe-inspiring aesthetics are surely worthy of the hallowed grade, highlighted by the sparkling DiMaggio portrait pose emanating crystal-clear clarity, impeccable contrast, and the aforementioned remarkable centering seldom offered on any DiMaggio '39 Play Ball. Pinpoint corners have retained nearly all of their original right-angled formations, and the pack-fresh surfaces have stubbornly defied the past 84 years. One of the Yankee Clipper's most sanctified cardboard issues, it has only been bested approximately 0.9% of the total PSA encapsulated copies, effectively turning back the clock to an era when Joe D was embarking on a career for the ages!
