$40 firm.
I found this signed paper with Joe DiMaggio’s name on it in a box of my grandmother’s keepsakes when I emptied her house after she passed away 30 years ago. I long since forgot about it, but found it again while clearing out my own house as I downsize. The signature is not authenticated, and I do not know its provenance. It was probably obtained in Baltimore, though I am not entirely sure. My grandmother was poor and lived in a very old, rundown Baltimore row home; she wouldn't have paid for this, so I suspect she got the signature directly from DiMaggio.
Folded paper in a gold frame, signed in pen, “Joe DiMaggio,” and dated 10-9-79, with a handwritten penciled note in my grandmother’s hand, “Joe Dimaggio,” beside it. Sold as an unauthenticated signature. No COA or third-party verification, and I make no claim about authenticity. The paper has age creases and toning, as shown. The frame is about 8" x 6.5”.
Pickup is in Great Falls, VA, and buyers are welcome to inspect it.
