1933 DeLong #21 Jimmy Foxx PSA 8 NM-MT - Highest PSA Example!
THE BEAST!!! Similar to the unparalleled power of Jimmy Foxx comes this astonishing PSA 8 NM-MT 1933 DeLong specimen that resides as the finest of its kind! Along with Aaron and Hornsby, Jimmy Foxx is regarded as one of the three greatest right-handed hitters in baseball history, with the hard-hitting first sacker's .325 lifetime batting average, 1,921 RBIs, 534 home runs, and an incredible 13 consecutive seasons of 100+ RBIs substantiate that notion.
The year this card was issued, Foxx would claim the aforementioned AL Triple Crown by belting 48 dingers, knocking in 163 runs and posting a sensational .356 batting average. He was now the toast of the town, with the City of Brotherly Love worshiping this supernatural slugger who was so appropriately nicknamed "The Beast" due to his muscular physique and uncanny power. This PSA 8 offering's pack-fresh condition absolutely defies logic, as it appears to have just been pulled from a 1933 DeLong gum pack. His well-centered swinging pose is virtually perfect, providing brilliant aesthetics via its superior contrast and rich red, green, yellow and blue hues. Pinpoint corners, bright white borders, sparkling surfaces and the verso's bold/vivid text are the final compliments for one of the finest Foxx cards extant!
