Lot 1350: Joe DiMaggio Signed "Playboy #1"

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid: $1,154.81
Price Realized: $1,380.00
Auction Date:4/30/2001 9:00 PM EST

The genuine article sold in Barry Halper's auction for $30-thousand, making this the sane man's choice (and only chance) for the greatest DiMaggio display piece on earth. DiMaggio perfect blue sharpie signature was acquired at a signing by placing a clear plastic transparency over a photograph. That transparency was then burned with the image of the Playboy cover, leaving the autograph untouched. Voila! A little sneaky, but don't you wish you had thought of it? You better believe Joe would be pissed if he knew though.
