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?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing after seeing all these cards with his name spelled "Jimmy".

And some more great Foxx cards!!!

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

I know this one is fairly common, but it's the only XX I have.....and, it hasn't been shown yet. I really like the previous photos that this depiction is based on......very nice guys.
