Fire up your collection with this group of (4) matchbook covers starring Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. Issued while the legendary Yankee sluggers were in their prime, these vintage souvenirs advertise DiMaggio's restaurant, and in Mantle's case, his Joplin hotel, and the popular Yoo-Hoo brand soft drink. Each matchbook cover is adorned with an image of one of these hobby favorite figures. The matches have been removed, and with deference to staple holes, these crisp and clean keepsakes average (VG to VG-EX) condition quality. Featured are: (2) DiMaggio's Restaurant, one with a photo image, and the other with an illustration; (2) Mickey Mantle, one from his Holiday Inn Hotel, and the other promoting Yoo-Hoo with the slogan "Me for Yoo-Hoo", and "The Chocolate Drink of Champions".
