Lot 67
DiMaggio, Joe (1936) (1914-1999) Known as Joltin' Joe or The Yankee Clipper, DiMaggio was an outstanding hitter and fielder and one of the best all-round players in the history of the game. Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.
Signature ("Joe DiMaggio"). Signed Time Magazine, complete issue. Signed in blue ink. 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.
