April 2, 2015: Sports & Americana Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/2/2015
Three elements at a minimum conspire to make this a special opportunity for serious collectors: the convergence of arguably the game’s most revered figure appearing in the principal card issue of the era and then winding up as the No. 1 card in the set. Any one of those factors might account for a major price tag and enthusiastic bidding, but finding all three together at once ups the ante. Ultimately, it is a nicely centered example of the great DiMaggio in a PSA 3 Very Good holder, making it a great artifact for collectors of the issue, the player or New York Yankees specialists.
