This one covers 1936 to 1939, and is focused on the Yankees, and their 4 game sweep World Series of 1939. Whoever put it together did a beautiful job doing so, and I am mighty happy to have it. It is loaded with info and photos. With my high-value cards now in the safe deposit box, I thought with this Joe DiMaggio thread this would be appropriate.

Fantastic scrapbook and great pictures and stories James. As prices for cards seem to continue going through the roof, newspaper items like these may begin to take over as one of the areas vintage and pre-war "collectors" can still get into without mortgaging the farm. Great stuff, and shows a lot of love and care by whoever put that together.
