Candlestick Park Appraisal

Joe DiMaggio Signed Candlestick Park Souvenir Postcard

This is a vintage, standard-sized souvenir postcard featuring descriptive text about Candlestick Park in San Francisco, prominently autographed by baseball legend Joe DiMaggio. The card is printed on a heavy cream-toned cardstock and features blue ink text and graphics on the reverse side. The top left corner displays a line of stylized silhouettes representing San Francisco landmarks, including a cable car, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Coit Tower. The autograph across the center is inscribed in blue ballpoint ink, reading 'Best Wishes, Joe DiMaggio'. The signature is bold and fluid, exhibiting the characteristic loops and slanted script associated with DiMaggio's later-life autograph style. The postcard includes historical facts about the stadium, noting its dedication in 1960 and its role as the home of the San Francisco Giants. Manufacturing credits at the bottom identify 'Color photo by Aero Portraits' and 'Mike Roberts, Berkeley, Calif.' The left vertical margin identifies the distributor as 'E.F. Clements, San Francisco, Calif. 94107'. Condition-wise, the card shows minor signs of aging with light toning to the paper. There are no significant creases or tears visible. The signature remains crisp with no evidence of ink bleeding or significant fading. It appears to be professionally presented in a black modern frame, which has preserved the edges of the card from wear.
