A few thoughts:
Ted Z is a treasure. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I just know from his posts. There is no doubt that he has more knowledge of the greatest era of baseball, and the stuff that goes with it (cards!) than just about anyone around.
That '41 Play Ball DiMaggio is a beautiful card. Is there a coincidence that his and Ted Williams' cards, with the year they had, are so perfect?
Shocked that these 2 cards aren't in the stratosphere in value (yet?).
If given a choice between Mantle or Joe D, and I can choose only one or the other, even though I love them both, I choose Joe.
I got my Joe D autographed OAL ball some years ago in Fort Lauderdale. It is signed "Joe DiMaggio" and "Yankee Clipper" in his hand. I am told the only time he did that was during signings at the children's hospital bearing his name. It is priceless to me.
