There is some fraying at the edges and spine and minor abrasions on the front of the magazine, but otherwise, in very good condition. This July 13, 1936, cover apparently jinxed Joltin' Joe -- in the midst of an astounding rookie year, the day DiMaggio's picture appeared on Time he went 0 for 5 and flubbed twice in the field. Everything turned out okay though, as he batted .323 during the regular season and .346 against the New York Giants during the World Series. Estimated Value $400 - 600.

There is some adhesive residue from a mailing label in the bottom left corner and the edges show some wear, but otherwise this magazine is in very good condition. Not only does this magazine feature "The Lip's" signature, the article was written just before Durocher was suspended for the entire year! Durocher, reprimanded for "moral turpitude" because of his romance with Laraine Day and dealings with gamblers (or because of a power struggle within the Dodgers?), never got to manage Jackie Robinson -- whose presence on the Dodgers he had championed. Do we have another example of the Time cover curse? Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $529
