1933 Goudey #29 Jimmie Foxx PSA 6 - Double X at the Height of His Powers

In 1932, Jimmie Foxx delivered one of the most extraordinary offensive performances baseball had ever witnessed. The powerful Philadelphia Athletics first baseman crushed 58 home runs, drove in 169 runs, and batted .364, capturing the American League MVP award while coming within striking distance of Babe Ruth’s legendary single-season home run record. Nicknamed “Double X” for his tremendous strength, Foxx had established himself as one of the most feared sluggers in the game. His 1933 Goudey #29 arrived at the perfect moment, featuring a superstar fresh off a historic campaign and preparing to deliver yet another season of astonishing production.

Graded PSA EX-MT 6, this example comes from the inaugural 1933 Goudey 240-card set, a landmark production that forever changed the landscape of baseball-card collecting. Foxx’s appearance at #29 is particularly significant, representing the slugger during the absolute peak of his dominance with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics. The set’s brilliant artwork and colorful presentation have made it one of the most celebrated issues of the prewar era, and the PSA 6 designation makes this a strong example of one of its most important Hall of Fame subjects. Few cards capture Foxx at a more compelling point in his career, standing between two consecutive MVP seasons.

Remarkably, Foxx followed his 1932 masterpiece by winning the 1933 American League Triple Crown, leading the league with a .356 batting average, 48 home runs, and 163 RBI, while securing his second consecutive MVP award. He would ultimately become a three-time MVP, nine-time All-Star, and two-time World Series champion, finishing his remarkable career with 534 home runs, 1,922 RBI, and a .325 lifetime batting average. In 1940, he became just the second player in Major League history to reach 500 home runs, following Babe Ruth. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951, Foxx remains one of the greatest right-handed power hitters the sport has ever known.
