Are you both referring to the pics I posted?

All of these photos came from the book " Joe DiMaggio The Hero's Life ". I think the picture of him looking at his collection of memorabilia matches the one in the auction, even has DiMaggios auto in the neckline:

good photo and the type of thing i'm sure lifson is looking for, i.e. a shot of a jd seals shirt with the lettering just below the top button (most seals photos from the era show the seals lettering well below the top button, perhaps below the second button, which is the case with the other jd photos you supplied). not only does the lettering in the display case photo appear to match up well in terms of position to the top button, but the pinstripes that run through the s and e also appear to match up very well to the auction shirt...



almost impossible to compare autographs imo, but from what i can see they don't seem to match up. whatever the case, for a true photo match i think you would need to find a game photo of jd sporting the shirt because, for all we know, the shirt in the display case could be a well done fake that even fooled jd, no?

anyway, i think lifson is looking for a quality shot of jd sporting a shrrt with the lettering positioned high, just below the top button, as in the following photo of another seals player:
