Four great shots of Joltin' Joe make up this oversized Wirephoto from his personal collection. Measuring at 12" by 17", this piece showcases typical used, but not abused Wirephoto ondition, with the classic Associated Press Wirephoto stamp on the back. Caption reads: Camera interview with rising young DiMaggio: He was supposed to pick up fame where watting Babe Ruth left off-- some job-- but he's making grand start is young Joe DiMaggio, west coast star purchased by Yankees for $75,000. Here he's shown on home diamond: Boning bat, making a long throw from his left field post, smiling hopefully for future, and cracking one out. Estimate $100/200
