I have to go with Canseco..

I love the booklet, but the Game used Jersey's don't look vintage since this is when he played with the Seals..

If I had to guess, I'd say it probably wasn't a Seals jersey either. I'd lean towards Yankees, for sure. These were taken from 4 different Sweet Spot Dimaggio cards.

It was cool because Upper Deck actually hid pinstriping on some of them, so the blank white swatches actually had hidden pinstripes on some of them!

Oh, and here is another pic of Canseco to show off its refractory goodness :)

I'll go with DiMaggio, but I feel like I should have just flipped a coin. Both cards are gorgeous.

I'm voting for the Canseco because I feel it is a better execution. But I will say "Behind the Plate" bugs me. That's the catcher. Should be "At the Plate."

Going with the Joe D on this one. Both cards are done really well so I'm defaulting to which one I would keep in my PC.

I'm voting for the DiMaggio. Gives me the National Treasures feel with a hint of Ginter. I agree that the swatches probably are Yankees items and not Seals but the Auto really sets it apart from the Canseco.

Looks like the DiMaggio book took it.

Bracket coming soon.

I'll be honest, as much as I like the wood card and it belongs this far in the bracket, I'm going with the DiMaggio booklet.

The only issues I have with the wood card is the shameless self promotion on the back. I'm NOT saying it in a bad way but a constructive criticism way. The wording on the bat about the game used bat may lead someone to believe the bat was that of TanMan and not Canseco.

Again, the DiMaggio booklet is well done, plus gives me the National Treasures feel with a hint of Allen & Ginter.
