1937 Goudey Premiums-Type 4 Joe DiMaggio Type 4-(Portrait) ⭐ This is one of my favorite cards. It's magnificent, even if almost cartoonish. The true American Icon - Legendary Hall of Fame ballplayer; dignified, disciplined, and professional persona; legendary spokesperson (Mr. Coffee); World War II hero and part of America's Greatest Generation; widely referenced throughout literature and music; celebrity mystique with marriage to Marilyn Monroe. Generations (like me) who never saw him play recognize the name “DiMaggio” as shorthand for greatness, elegance, and American excellence.
So this is Mantel post 200. I thought I would go back to my first Mantle post which was a Joe D 1939 Playball which is also autographed. It has fun going thru the cards each day and posting.
