The card collector's view

DiMaggio's rookie card is the 1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premium — a pre-war scarcity — with the 1933 Zeenut PCL San Francisco Seals minor league card representing his pre-Yankees days. His 1938 Goudey 'Heads Up' card is iconic, as are 1948 Bowman and 1951 Bowman releases from late in his career. Modern Topps and Upper Deck Yankee Clipper jersey-relic cards and signed reprints give collectors accessible entry points to anchor a vintage New York collection.

About Joe DiMaggio at FreshDCards

Fifty-six straight games with a hit. From May 15 to July 16, 1941, Joe DiMaggio hit safely in every game he played — a record nobody has seriously threatened in the eighty-five years since. The Yankee Clipper spent his entire career in center field for New York from 1936 to 1951, winning three AL MVP awards and nine World Series rings in thirteen seasons. He hit .325 lifetime with 361 home runs and lost three prime years to military service in World War II.
