Posted By: <b>Bob Ivanjack</b><p>Not to out an ongoing Ebay auction but a friend asked if the board could help in identifying this Jimmy (Jimmie) Foxx item - is it merely a 5&quot;x7&quot; photo issued after his playing days or, as the seller states, a premium of some sort. Thanks in advance for the help.<br>Bob Ivanjack<br><br><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330300855404" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330300855404</a>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>It's hard to tell the card stock from the scan but it looks like a photo to me. I wonder why the seller thinks it could be a premium? I see no obvious signs why it would be one. regards

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>For comparison I did acquire these two &quot;photo premiums&quot; and they do have signs of possibly being a premium....but I can't say for sure...<br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1232506968.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Bob Ivanjack</b><p>Great find and great items. Have never seen them (and checked Copeland and Halper catalogs) but would tend to agree due to the facsimile autographs.<br>Bob

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I am with Leon, I think the Foxx is a photo. Bob may consider it a premium as that pose is used on a few cards and premiums I believe.
