1952 Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio Dual-Signed Postcard.
Though the marriage of Joe and Marilyn was troubled and very short, it remains to this day the ultimate celebrity pairing, the consummate sports legend and the definitive Hollywood star. It is well known that despite a lifelong affection for Miss Monroe that saw DiMaggio send flowers to Marilyn's grave until his own passing, Joe absolutely refused to sign any Monroe related material after her death, whether it be photographic images or pages already bearing her autograph.
Any signed artifacts blessed by both legendary hands derive only from the brief periods that this couple spent together, literally only a span of months given the short length of their romance and the large percentage of that time that travel separated them.
This is a 3.5” x 5.5” postcard of the SF cityscape with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. It is signed in pencil by Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio in pencil, in our opinion rating overall 8.
As told by the previous owner who is now 86, she was traveling with her family in the summer of 1952 when she was able to get the power couple to sign her post card in person, in Joe D’s restaurant in SF.
Good condition.
