Late 1930s Jimmie Foxx Single Signed News Service Photo

The Beast has never looked so tame! A winning smile, multiple game bats in hand, a classic dugout backdrop and the kindest inscription imaginable add up to the picture-perfect Foxx display piece. (And if your name happens to be Tom, well, you may want to go ahead and give your framer a heads-up that an important rush order is coming.) The 8" x 10" photo carries an Associated Press stamping on the reverse and bears the usual related evidence of newsroom handling, such as minor peripheral wear, a few wrinkles and an edge tear. Foxx's gorgeously scripted fountain-pen message rates "9" in strength and reads, "To My Friend Tom - one of the Grandest fellows I know - Jimmie Foxx." LOA from PSA DNA.
