Straight from a freshly discovered Cosmo-Sileo collection, this pre-game sideline shot captures Joe D at his most iconic, and boasts the desirable 1930s-style Cosmo-Sileo stamp on reverse. As Bronx Bomber buffs know well, Cosmo-Sileo and Thorne Studios were the official Yankees photographers throughout the Ruth/Gehrig/early-DiMaggio era. This fine example (and the adjacently offered fielding version) showcases clean, crisp EX-MT condition. Image clarity is exceptional, from DiMaggio's serene countenance to the flannel fabric of his pinstriped uniform to the individual blades of grass at his feet. Encapsulated as Type I Authentic by PSA.
