Happy 100th Birthday Joe Di Maggio

Had Dimag (& Ted Williams) sign this piece at an Atlantic City card show in '89.
Both were gentleman & a pleasure to talk to

Met Joe D. at a San Jose show in the late 80's and had him sign this photo. I left very impressed and I have been a Joe D. fan ever since.

Cool piece. And the best thing is that you don't need to tell anyone who the signatures are since they are all legible!

Taylor it took me about 2 decades to assemble its. Its the 100th anniversary of Baseball stamp First Day Cover in 1939 to commemorate the opening of the Hall Of Fame.
All signatures are of players who are Hall Of Famer's and played in 1939 except Waite Hoyt who retired a year earlier.
It now resides in my sons collection and will be earmarked to give to his son who is 3 now on the 100th anniversary of the piece.

I imagine if my grandfather would have done this for me w/ signatures from Cap Anson, Roger Connor, John Ward, John Clarkson and the like.

I met Joe D. approximately 22 years ago, at Barry Halper's house. One of my favourite collecting memories:

I saw him hit a homerun in an old timers game aeons ago but he's etched in
my memory like yesterday.

all the best,
