This is a set of 3 replicas of "The Yankee Clipper's" most famous baseball cards, plus a photo certificate card. This magnificent set including a
genuine Joe DiMaggio autographed card is truly a one-of-a-kind collection.This set is limited to 500. It took over 2 years to negotiate this signing, as DiMaggio rarely signs anything unless it is "top shelf" and is
the highest quality collectible on the market. As part of the negotiations, DiMaggio received 139 sets for his personal estate, making an available edition limit of just 361, the same number of homers "Joltin' Joe" hit
in his illustrious career. This is also the first time DiMaggio has ever signed porcelain cards.
These cards are a worthy tribute to one of Baseball's heroes, and released on the 50th
Anniversary of his third MVP award in 1947 and 56th
Anniversary of his Major League record 56-game hitting streak in 1941. the reproductions are accurate in every detail, so they're a tremendous way to own replicas of some of the most sought-after and expensive cards in history.
