My vintage card of the week: The 1941 Play Ball Jimmie Foxx. This was the first 1940s card I acquired. Found it at my local card shop, which has a really great vintage selection, especially for a shop in a small town. The artwork immediately caught my eye. Just gorgeous colors that make the card a pleasure to look at. And Foxx was an absolute stud: 3X MVP; triple-crown winner; 534 career HR; and a cartoonish career OPS of 1.038.

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.

1934 Goudey #1, Jimmy "Jimmie" Foxx ⭐
The position of Card #1, was not taken lightly by early vintage card manufacturers.
Jimmie earned Card #1, in Goudey's 1934 Baseball edition by having one of the most dominant offensive performances in MLB history during the 1933 MLB season.
That year, he won hitting's Triple Crown, led the American League with a .356 BA, 48 HRs, and 163 RBIs playing for the Philadelphia Athletics. He was also named the American League MVP, marking his second consecutive MVP award.
This may be the nicest 1934 Goudey baseball card that I've seen in a PSA 1 holder.
