haven't seen this one yet
love the cards all. While it's not technically a "card", below is the earliest Double X photo I've ever seen, which I was able to pick up in 2012.
It's a c1924 cut-out of a Sporting News press photo while he was with the Easton Farmers as a 16 year-old.

Anyone know the origin of the spelling of his first name? Most of these cards have it spelled in the traditional manner of 'Jimmy,' even including his signature on the fronts with him using the same spelling. Only a couple have it 'correctly' spelled 'Jimmie.'
Was it just lazy editing and research by the card companies or is there a deeper story here?

Jimme A Break
Foxx. Jimmy or Jimmie? He signed his name with a "Jimmy", so that is what I'd go for. Yet, the text on the Cooperstown site lists him as a Jimmie while his plaque states Jimmy. Most TPG flips use what is on the face of the card, but not always. Even raw XXs go back and forth twixt the two. I'd hate it if the truth was lost to posterity. What gives?

Paul,
While there are a few "Jimmy" signatures that have been authenticated, he almost always signed "Jimmie". My guess is that the companies just used the more common spelling. All legal documents that I've seen have either been signed "James Emory Foxx" or "Jimmie Foxx". Wow - this is the first time I've actually been able to add something meaningful to one of the threads. Jeff
