Nice video Rhett, great cards, and I agree these should be classified as an 'E' set instead of 'W' (just like other box candy cards like the Orange Borders, Baseball Bats, J=K, Schapira etc.), and that the ACC should be a living catalog of the cards we collect, because discoveries like the Snap Shot box you showed (nice replica, by the way) should be noted and classifications changed, for both accuracy and the benefit of the collecting community.

But TPG's seem to prefer that all this info (card classification, year of issue, etc.) to be set in stone to what it was 25 years ago, so the living catalog idea has an uphill battle to catch on.

Starting a budget Jimmie Foxx PC.

A 1931 W517 is with SGC (likely a 2-3), and I took a flyer on this one recently.

Buying raw vintage can be a dangerous game, but I see no reference to R315 reprints, and the print lines/smudges at the bottom do not match any other examples I could find. Will also send to SGC, and would be thrilled with an "A" for what I paid.

1929-30 R315

Nice Foxx. I believe the "1st Base" caption is tougher -- most I have seen just name him as "Fielder"-- at least the white ones.

Picked these two up recently. One from board member (Thank you) and the other at National for back run.

Thanks
