Joe DiMaggio's Rookie Card?

The weirdly zoomed in 36 WWG in my book.

I could see an argument for the 36 WWG or 38 Goudey. But as someone else mentioned I'm not a fan of the way the 38 looks and will probably pick up a 41 play ball when I add a Dimaggio to the collection.

It's the WWG. I don't care if it's from New York, Canada, Upper Volta, or the Crab Nebula. It's a baseball card. It's his rookie year. It's his rookie card. If you want to get the best-looking cards, go for it, but that doesn't impact on the determination of rookie card status.

Agreed but would probably add r312

What about the National Chicle? He's still wearing number 18 on that card. It must be the earliest image of him as a professional, no?

Or this. (Mine, so I'm biased lol)!

I dare you to submit a card for grading and receive in return a Crab Nebula designation on the flip. Which TPG? Your choice. If successful, submit it to PWCC for sale and post the flowery description from their auction here.

Crab Nebula WWGs should be a separate option in this poll.

It does have a mug shot feel to it.
