Joe Dimaggio's new nick-name
 
Joe Dimaggio appears to have a new nickname..."The Yankee Clippings!"

Nice. My guess is they wouldn't know it's an error if you pointed it out to them. That's just a guess though.
I immediately thought of mowing my lawn when I read the title, and I rarely think of that when reading pre-war card titles, so that's "something".

That was the nickname preferred by Yankee announcer Red "Barber" and the reason why the Yankees didn't hire him until 1954, after Joe retired.:D

He probably also has cards for sale of Mikey Mantle. :D

It would have been funnier if the card was graded "A"

His '36 World Wide Gum card lists him as "Deadpan Joe". It's a shame that didn't catch on.
