1941 Play Ball #71, Joe DiMaggio ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer - American Pop Icon
This is one of the most widely coveted playing days baseball cards of Joe DiMaggio.
It captures Joe DiMaggio during his historic 1941 season—the same year he hit safely in a record 56 consecutive games.
Unlike earlier black-and-white sets from Gum, Inc., the 1941 Play Ball series introduced vibrant, full-color tinted backgrounds that gave the cards a striking aesthetic appeal.
Because it is card #71 in a 72-card set, children historically stored it at the back of stacks, leaving surviving copies prone to heavy corner and edge wear.
