Jimmie Foxx Signed Postcard Opinions (no longer available)

I appreciate everyone's comments and thanks Richard for that explanation as it makes sense. Do you think the salutation part is in Jimmie's hand also or do you think it might have been prepped by someone else?

Thanks!

Mike

Looks to me like it was written some time after the sig by someone not named Jimmie Foxx.

thanks and last question as to try and maximize this items potential.

Would it make sense to just leave this "as is" with the smudging and other writing or just "cut" the Foxx sig.

If it was all in Foxx's hand I would definitely just keep it as is but since the Foxx is so clean......

your thoughts?

Thanks in advance, Mike

To me the background would look a bit odd if you cut it. If he had signed it on a blank part of the picture it would be an easier decision. But if you cut it you will have a piece of his leg in the background. It would look a bit off to me, and even with the smudging and possibility that he didn't write the salutation, I would rather have the whole thing. That may just be me though.

+1 absolutely

Thank you all for your opinions and advice. I will leave it "as is" and let the buyer decide. Or I may even decide to keep it since my name is Mike!

No longer available, thanks!
