That’s my fav, too. The rosy cheeks, the staged follow-through swing, the youthful look… it’s got it all! P.S. Let the mocking begin on the size of this slab!

And Joe is so young he was still misspelling his name when signing.

I think you posted this a couple years ago on another Joe D thread. This is in my top 5 favorite Dimaggio items. Great action shot.

The 1936 National Chicle is my favorite card.

My favorite has to be the 38 Goudey. I also like the 36 Fine Pens (can't get my card image to attach), but I agree with everyone that the 41 is the most iconic. JT

This is my one and only. I love the color!

Similar but looks to be different stock.... Only one I have seen.

Late to the DiMaggio party, but my one and only would be this 1935 Pebble Beach PC with his autograph on it. Done as a Clothing promotion back in 1935 with him in his San Fran Seals uniform.

[1880nonsports]

but a mounted advertisement signed. Still neat with his paramour.....

Old thread but cool cards. Here is another Joe D. Not sure I have seen others of these...

[Aaron Seefeldt]

I keep meaning to upgrade this. It’s my favorite Joe D

[itjclarke]

This one's maybe my favorite card in my collection, let alone the Joe Ds. I just love the SFness of his Zeenut.

Joe DiMaggio Japanese Bromide Card

[Vintagedeputy]

I don’t have a DiMaggio card from his playing days (yet), but I would like to show off my 1946-48 era DiMaggio model, Yankees index bat.

[Exhibitman]

That bromide is spectacular.

I like this one:

[Brownie33]

I personally love all Joe’s oversized cards and premiums. This is mine and one of my favorites of his.

1939 Playball for me.

I once had the same autographed card (maybe not the exact one) which was my favorite but in the late 1990's I liked cash more. Thought $2500 was a good price for it at that time. I'm guessing that would not touch today's market for the card.

I did not save a picture of it but it also did not have the tab.

What’s the history on this piece? My knowledge of Joe D. autos is that he never signed anything with MM, so I’m intrigued by this.

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I like the 1940 Play Ball best.

[robertsmithnocure]

I would also vote for the Zeenut batting pose of DiMaggio.

[Leon]

Don't know it's my fave but it's definitely rare...

A rookie year Joe D (it even says it on the "card")...

Perhaps oddly, I don't care for the version without cartoons.

I agree 100% I have the '39, 40 and 41 Play Ball as well as the Fine Pen from '36 but my favorite is the 38 Goudey. Here's mine.
