1993 Pinnacle Joe Dimaggio autograph cards

[Peter_Spaeth]

Is there an issue with the legitimacy of these? They seem to me to be pretty inexpensive for what they are.

According to Beckett, DiMaggio signed a total of 9,000 cards for the issue-- they were randomly inserted into the boxed sets--, which may explain what you say is the low price.

Sometimes you can find a really great deal on these.

I own two and got them both for under $100.00.

One is on Ebay now for $147.99.

Are they reliably his signature? I vaguely recall reading something but can't find it.

I haven't heard anyone voice an issue with these. There have been issues or concerns with other certified autograph cards, including some 1994 UD Mickey Mantle signatures, and some certified Ted Williams items-- so maybe that's what's stuck in the back of your head.

In general, big brand certified autographed insert cards are reliable. There are occasional cases with specific cards and specific players-- for example, it is well known that Jack Kemp used an autopen on1991 Pro Line cards, and you have to be careful with the Mantles on Griffey/Mantle dual-signed but not single-signed 1994 UD inserts--, but they are well known in the hobby.

If you know Joe DiMaggio's autograph, you'll be able to differentiate between an authentic one and a forged item.

The sigs that came out of those boxes are authentic.
