1936 R311 National Chicle Leather ⭐ Jimmy Foxx
1939-46 Salutation Exhibits ⭐ Jimmy Foxx
Two of my favorite pre-War cards. I bought them both raw. Only sent one to be enshrined by PSA so far.
Nicknamed "The Beast" and "Double X", Foxx carved out a legendary profile with his monstrous swing, bulging arms, and devastating power. During his 20-year career, he hit a remarkable .325 lifetime average and drove in at least 100 runs in 13 consecutive seasons—an enduring Major League record. His crowning jewel came in 1933, when he secured the American League Triple Crown.
Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1951.

1922 Exhibits J Frank "Homerun" Baker ⭐️
One of MLB's greatest hitters during the deadball era, Baker has been called the "original home run king of the majors".
Baker led the American League in home runs for four consecutive years, from 1911 through 1914. He had a batting average over .300 in six seasons, had three seasons with more than 100 runs batted in, and two seasons with over 100 runs scored.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics ⭐ Barry Zito OAK, #18/18
A big curveball helped make Barry a Cy Young winner in 2002.
A big smile and eccentric streak helped make him a Bay Area favorite.

1934 Goudey #1, Jimmy Foxx ⭐ XX
Happy Monday! February's first of 2026.
I love this Jimmie Foxx card; and though this is not his RC it's probably my favorite mainstream XX card.
Jimmie earned Card #1, in Goudey's 1934 set by having a monumental season in 1933.
That year, Jimmie won the A.L. Triple Crown with a .356 BA, 48 HR

home runs, and 163 RBIs. He earned his second consecutive A.L .MVP award, was named to the inaugural All-Star team, and set an A.L. record with 9 RBIs in one game.

Reggie Jackson ⭐
I'm not a Yankees fan, per se, but it feels like the Bombers did not make their usual huge "splash" in free agency this year.
This goes against decades of tradition, which begs the question, "Are the Dodgers the new Yankees?"🙃
Thanks to @CashLumber for the superb wood art "Per Se".🤝
