1938 Goudey Heads Up #249 Jimmy Foxx PSA 8 NM-MT
FOXX!!! One of our National Pastime's greatest right-handed all-time hitters, Jimmy Foxx posted an incredible .325 lifetime batting average, 1,921 RBIs, 534 homeruns, a 1933 Triple Crown an amazing run of 13 consecutive seasons of 100+ RBIs. He was unquestionably the strongest right-handed batter of his time, walloping a host of colossal home runs including one that sailed into Yankee Stadium's left field upper deck! No wonder his early baseball cards are highly coveted by elite enthusiasts, with few as popular as this 1938 Goudey "Head's Up" #249 version. In 1938, the Goudey Gum Co. effectively pleased the public with a set that included a real photo color image affixed to a caricature body, and this exalted Foxx offering certainly stands as one of the finest surviving subjects. Only 2 grading higher.
