The 1941 Playball all the way. I don't own one but it is on my bucket list of cards.

Zeenut, definitely. Honorable mention to the 1937 OPC

My favorite is the Zeenut also, the 41 is so hard to find nicely registered or focused.

I assume people know there are two Zeenut Dimaggios.

1949 LEAF
I have quite a variety of Joe DiMaggio cards. This one, though, I have a certain sentimental attachment to it, since it was my very first set of colorized BB cards, which I collected when I was a 10 year old kid. TED Z T206 Reference . |

The 1939 Playball shows Joe with a very nice smile - not always seen in his cards. The black & white photo gives a good vintage look. The '39 is a tad more affordable, giving you the chance to acquire a better grade for your buck.

Totally agree. My preference for all those reasons, if I were ever to get a Dimaggio

Tough call for me between the 41 Playball and the 48 Leaf. I like the look of the leaf better, but the 41 is more iconic.

To each his own but I just don't get it.

Not all 1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio cards are that out of focus, but I agree the facial image in even the best are less detailed than desired. It is a nice batting pose, which can also be seen in his 1940 Play Ball card.

Not my card.
If I could only have one, I'd probably choose the Goudey, with cartoons. It seems to be a somewhat polarizing card. The artwork isn't for everyone. As many have said, though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me, this is a beautiful baseball card. Perhaps oddly, I don't care for the version without cartoons.

1936 World Wide Gum
This my one and only DiMaggio card, although not the best picture. I love it for its simplicity.

The favorite I have ever owned was one of his Zeenut cards that was autographed. It traded hands a few times after I sold it but has never reappeared at auction. Guess it made its way to a true collector in the last exchange. I sold it about 20 years ago and did not keep a picture of it. Did not have the coupon but was in nice condition other than that. I paid $2K which seemed pretty high at the time and flipped it at $2500. I think it would be way more today if it came to market again.

Joe was not an attractive man, so there are a lot of toothy grins among his cards. Add my voice to the 1941 chorus. I had one, sold it, and found myself chasing another one within the year. If you're looking to change up your collection, you won't go wrong with a 1948-49 Leaf (just make sure to hold out for a bright green example).

The 1951 Berk Ross is the one that I picked and bought being his last year playing and for me being able to afford it 12 years ago
