I was going to say, the MP & CO cards - while they are no doubt the poorest quality of their era, especially when compared to something like '41 Play Ball or '48 Leaf - are still neat in the sense that the poorer quality has a historical connection with WWII. And it would be a legit card of DiMaggio from his playing days - if you don't mind the fact that the caricature is hand drawn...and of course looks nothing like the Yankee Clipper. :-) I have a '43 MP & CO card of Stan Hack...
