Unusual and Rare Jimmie Foxx Autograph Authenticated by Spence, Keating.
Lot 3. Unusual and Rare Jimmie Foxx Autograph Authenticated by Spence, Keating. In the 1930s, Foxx succeeded Babe Ruth as baseball’s top slugger. During the decade, he hit 415 home runs, leading the A.L. four times, won the RBI title three times and captured three MVP Awards. Besides being a big hitter, Foxx was known as a big drinker. He especially liked Scotch. Under the influence, he was known to sign his name in a variety of ways. In this case, in black fountain pen, he signed “Jimy Foxx” on a 4” x 6” magazine clipping, which has chips around the edges. The signature stands out boldly, as a nm-m 8 to mint 9, against the white area of his Red Sox uniform. The autograph comes with a Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication. Authenticated also by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $1,554.
