Lot # 837: 1940 R335 Play Ball #1 Joe DiMaggio PSA NM 7

Graded NM 7 by PSA. High-grade example of 1940 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio, one of collecting's most famous cards, featuring the "Yankee Clipper" in his familiar swing-through pose. One of card collecting's classics of the era, this is one of the keys to the 1940 Play Ball set and one of the most popular of all prewar baseball cards. This example has a crisp image, light corner wear, and centering slightly toward the right. Boldly printed reverse. This card is very difficult to find in high grade because it is the #1 card in the set. Kids often put these cards in numerical order, subjecting the first card number to additional wear. A high-grade PSA example of one of the key cards from the 1940 Play Ball set and one of the most popular cards of the era.
