Equally as famous for his 19-year Major League Baseball career with the New York Yankees as he is for having once been married to Marilyn Monroe, Joe Dimaggio’s baseball career saw him win nine (9) World Series rings, three (3) American League MVP awards, two (2) American League batting championships and of course, set a still unbroken Major League record of 56 straight games with a hit. Offered here, is this lot that includes a commemorative plate by The Bradford Exchange that has been signed by the man known as "The Yankee Clipper". Issued in 1993 as the first issue of the company's "Great Moments in Baseball" release and appropriately titled "The Streak", a painting like image of DiMaggio at the plate appears over the front of the piece while the reverse has been hand numbered "5218". Remaining in overall excellent condition with just light surface wear over both sides, DiMaggio has signed over the front with a gold ink signature that displays beautifully and without issue. Including some of the original packaging as well a the display stand, a JSA Auction LOA will accompany the piece.
