Dom Dimaggio Complete Set

[seattlerainiers]

The 1939 SF Examiner card of Dom DiMaggio, from his Seals tenure, is certainly amongst the toughest. There are very few known examples of any players from this issue.

So... this is what the checklist book says is available. The book has been known to contain some errors/omissions but is generally a good resource. Thanks to my IT guy (Son) here is the Dom entries and the book cover. I did not cross check with the OP's list. Good luck in your quest!!!

Thats a great list - im not sure i would count those larger newspaper cutouts - i did by an r423 strip with him on it as well but there are a bunch of oddballs in the 53 range it seems.

I think that tea label is going to be VERY tough

...1946 ?....Too pretty to hand-cut up as per the instructions....From what I've read and seen , these were issued in several different color schemes , and the kids they were mailed to weren't thinking of us collectors when they scissored the individual player cards out of the main sheet....I've seen several be number-graded if the entire colored border is retained , otherwise they are simply slabbed as " Authentic ; Hand Cut "---....someday , hopefully a long time from now , TheWidowGarcia will be selling this to raise money for a cruise ( or bling for a poolboy in FLA. )....could anyone who is familiar with this set give me an estimate what one of these might sell for , down the road , in its current state ? ( I really don't want the estate attorney to separate them for an extra few bucks but then again I'm not going to be having any say in the matter , am I ? ) Thanks , MikeGarcia

Great thread all around!! I don't think I have seen this SF Examiner card. Can you tell us the approx size and card stock type? It looks like an 8 x 10 paper premium or a type of flier?

Just a follow-up for Mike.
Your DiMaggio photo pack photo is from 1940. Actually for Dom, the 1941 photo changed significantly (and still had the enlarged signature)

Sorry, not sure how to turn the photo

...the pose of Dom you just showed , with the left elbow resting on the dugout , is identical to all of mine , except Teddy and Lefty have a chain link fence showing behind them..............all the " signatures" are really small like you said ( Teddy's is absolutely downright tiny ), except Lefty Grove's seems to be a normal size......so then here's the beast from 1940 :

..Thanks .
