I have a modern "novelty" card I bought on eBay a couple of years ago that has what I feel is Joe D's best photo. Alas, not worth much, but boy is it great to look at.

Otherwise, I go with 1939 Play Ball in a tie with 1941. I have one of each and frankly, can't decide which one I like best. I like them both. I think Joe's best years were pre-WW2. The 1939 in my plaque here is a copy. The one in my safe deposit box is real.

The 41 is his most iconic card in my opinion. The first one you think of when you think Joe D. His rookie, 36 WWG, or zeenut may be more valuable. Perhaps others as well that I'm forgetting. But if I could only have 1 in my collection it would be the 41 play ball.

If you do decide to sell that to buy another please let me know.

One of these two. I don't love the 41, pinhead shot, sort of goofy face and usually way out of register.

Couldn't have said it better.

The '40 Play Ball has somethings going for it; it is #1 in the set and shows Joe D. in his iconic batting swing pose. Still cheaper than the '41, I think.
