BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Joe DiMaggio Signed 8" x 10" Black and White Action Photograph
This item is an 8" x 10" black and white action photograph featuring New York Yankees legend and Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio. The image captures DiMaggio in his iconic follow-through swing at home plate, with a catcher and stadium spectators visible in the background. The photograph is hand-signed in blue ink across the lower center portion. An official Major League Baseball licensing hologram is present in the lower-left corner. The photograph is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Names of Fame, Inc., based in Glenham, New York, which certifies the signature as authentic.
8" x 10".
Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan (with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia). The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item(s) may not be individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present, but for the most part we have seen AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES within the collection. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos. Please reach out with any questions.
Condition report:
The photograph is in excellent condition with no visible creases, tears, or discoloration. The blue ink signature remains bold and clear. The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity shows minor signs of handling but is fully legible.
