(LOT 44)
1933 DeLong #21 Jimmy Foxx PSA 8 NM-MT
BEAST OF A CARD!!!...
1932 marked the first of two straight seasons that Philadelphia A's Jimmie Foxx led the American League in home runs with 58 and 169 RBIs. His follow-up 1933 campaign proved a Triple Crown season with a league-leading 48 homers, 163 RBIs and a .356 batting average. Each year, Foxx was named the AL MVP, capturing a third in 1938. Starting as a hulking young 17-year-old, Jimmie Foxx led the Athletics to three straight World Series (1929-31) winning the first two Fall Classics. Along with Hank Aaron and Rogers Hornsby, Foxx is still 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 substantiating that notion. 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 near perfect, providing brilliant aesthetics with its superior contrast of rich red, green, yellow and blue hues and superior border. Minimally touched corners, bright white borders, sparkling surfaces, and the back's bold & vivid text are the final complements to this finest of Foxx DeLong issues!
