August pickups

Here's a cool one. It's a 1944 Snapshot of Joe DiMaggio taken in Honolulu, Hawaii during WWII when he was playing for the 7th Army Air Force Baseball Team. Thanks Stephen!

That's an awesome photograph. My grandfather served in the AAF in the Pacific Theater but he couldn't hit as well as Joltin' Joe, so he saw a little more action.

Jumping in with Dan. Don't want to get left out of the potential Gehrig exhibit type run up on this one. Plus it's just a cool looking card with the white borders and b/w photo..not to mention the cool loaf of bread on the back. Jackie says: "I get a double play in Homogenized Bond. It tastes grand and packs plenty of energy."
Jackie most definitely never said that. lol

Decent card AJ!!! 😆. Seriously though, great pickup. Not sure about the Gehrig Exhibit style run but a '51 Bowman Mantle run in the short term seems fairly reasonable and if not you have the true RC of possibly the most influential athlete of all time. Win, win

Well we all can't have SGC 4's. :-)

Had no idea this card existed until earlier this week. That's why I love reading these boards!

Great looking photo...and a Foxx for my Delong set.....about 1.5 generic letters on the back are missing from paper loss ....

That's a great shot of Joe D!

another Delong for the near complete set...

Not received yet, but certainly the best pick up I've had in a long while.

Finally picked up a Speaker (thanks, Jim) and polished off the '56 Topps set. Good month!

Great additions to your Delong set, Leon.

Those are two of my three favorites from the set and the only two I also own...the third is the Gehrig which may as well be a '52 Mantle to me.

Raymond, the other card with same image is a 1934 R.J. Hill or some such, so, yes, much later than this Susini one...
