Joe DiMaggio – Goudie 1948
The Joe DiMaggio – Goudie 1948 card was not like the typical baseball card because of its caricature body and cartoony background illustrations. It was what set it different for the earliest cards of the Yankee Clipper payer. The Joltin’ Joe card had been released two years before Joe DiMaggio became a pro, and we could have our copy for a thousand dollars. There was another Joe DiMaggio baseball card in the series that did not include background illustrations. As expected, it was worth less than the Joe DiMaggio – Goudie 1948 card.

Duke Snider – 1949 Bowman
We already talked about some rookie cards for Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, and it was why it was evident that we would soon talk about the Duke of Flatbush. Edwin Duke Snider had been admired as the center fielder for the Boys of Summer team of the Brooklyn Dodgers during the late ’40s and early ’50s. Duke Snider was second to Jackie Robinson when it came to be popular. Like Mickey Mantle, the rookie card was created by Bowman and was first released in the 1949 series.
