1933 Goudey #154 Jimmie Foxx
About Jimmie Foxx
Jimmie Foxx was discovered as a 16-year-old Maryland farm boy by Hall of Famer Frank "Home Run" Baker, signed with the Eastern Shore League in 1924, and was purchased by the Philadelphia Athletics that July, debuting in the majors on May 1, 1925. Originally a catcher, he moved to first base once Mickey Cochrane arrived, and anchored the Athletics' powerhouse lineup that won pennants in 1929-31 and the World Series in 1929 and 1930. A right-handed slugger nicknamed "Double X" (his initials) and "The Beast" (his farm-built physique), Foxx won back-to-back American League MVP awards in 1932 and 1933, capping 1933 with the Triple Crown - a .356 average, 48 home runs, and 163 RBI - while also playing in that year's inaugural All-Star Game. He went on to a third MVP in 1938 and finished his 20-year career (Athletics, Red Sox, Cubs, Phillies) with 534 home runs, 2,646 hits, and a .325 average, retiring second only to Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list. Foxx was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Jimmie Foxx card?
It is card #154 of the 1933 Goudey (R319) Baseball set - the 240-card, 2-3/8 by 2-7/8 inch color-art set issued in 1933 with Big League Chewing Gum. It pictures Jimmie Foxx with the Philadelphia Athletics.
Is the 1933 Goudey Jimmie Foxx #154 a rookie card?
By modern catalog convention, yes. 1933 Goudey is treated as the hobby's first major nationally distributed gum set, so nearly every card in it carries the rookie-card (RC) designation - a modern label applied retroactively, since many of these players had earlier tobacco, caramel, or strip cards.
How many cards are in the 1933 Goudey set?
240 numbered cards, though collectors usually count 241 collectible cards because #6 Jimmy Dykes exists in an error and a corrected version. Only 239 numbers were in 1933 packs - #106 (Nap Lajoie) was printed in 1934 and issued by mail.
