(LOT 843)
1941 Play Ball #71 Joe DiMaggio PSA 2 GOOD

1941 JOLTIN' JOE!!! Who could ever forget the exalted 1941 campaign that would see Joltin' Joe DiMaggio turn the baseball world upside down with his iconic 56-game hitting streak. A bona fide super hero, Joe D's record-setting hit streak unequivocally stands as one of our National Pastime's greatest achievements. This superb PSA 2 GOOD 1941 Play Ball DiMaggio issued during that illustrious season reveals outstanding aesthetics for the grade, highlighted by the near-impossible-to-find well-positioned image. The classic batting pose portrays fine resolution and vibrant hues, with the central image eluding any obtrusive blemishes. While even corner wear and some stray border wrinkles prevent a higher assessment, it's the Yankee Clipper's immortal image, originally taken by renowned photographer George Burke, that steals the show, with this timeless classic conjuring up memories of one of baseball's most historical feats!
