Jimmie Foxx Signed 35 Diamond Stars

[HOF Auto Rookies]

There is a Jimmie Foxx signed 1935 Diamond Stars up for sale on the bay.

Just wanted to let you know if you're looking at it, a seller by the name of KatyMarie2007 (whom is no longer a registered user) had this card. I don't know if she ended up selling it, I had been watching it for a few years and remained in contact with her about the card. She had a buy it now for $2,000 with no best offer, then this seller now has the card with zero feedback.

Just wanted to give anyone a heads up if they are thinking about putting in an offer.

When did Jimmie sign his name with a y?

Wow I did not see that. Good call, and to answer no clue. Don't know much about his auto

[Deertick]

Fail Never saw a "J" "F" or "irry" like that, I have seen him use a "Y", just not sure of the time period that he did that. BUT the "Jimm" looked like my sig. I wouldn't touch it regardless of the slab.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Agreed. The "F" looked a little suspicious as you stated. Probably why it sat on the bay for years.

Ok, check this ebay auction out;

Seems he may have signed with a Y on the end.

Maybe this is a good autograph?

This looks good, but still, few similarities to the card. I wonder if the card (and the Jimmy) exhibits the (de)evolution of his signature?

Jimmie Foxx certainly did use a "Y" in his name on occasion. Mainly in the 1930's and 1950's. On baseballs and other items.

Paul do you have both variations on T206?
