Issued in series between 1946 and 1949 by the Sports Exchange Trading Post magazine the entire set consisted of 113 7x10" cards issued in 12 series during the three-year period. Among the first baseball collectibles issued after the close of WWII, these oversized photos served to remind fans of some of the great players of baseball history. Printed in black and white or sepia on thin stock each series were sold for $0.15.  The Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio, is featured on this piece, graded VG+ 3.5 by Beckett.  The grade is puzzling, as the card does appear stronger than the assigned grade.  Some light wear at the corners is evident, with light dings at all four.  A very tiny stain appears just to the right of the word "Joseph" in the right border.  Beyond those flaws, additional wear is difficult to see.  An attractive example of an unusual collectible featuring Joe DiMaggio.
