It looks like there is a little red ink at the top. Could it have been cut out of a box? |

Sorta looks similar to a honey boy. Wish I had a Krause here at work. |

Can't tell you what set he is but he does look very young so would put the card in the 20's. |

I was thinking packaging much like Paul, the ink on top and right edges suggests more stock once attached, and unlikely to be a strip card where some of the cards are colorized but others just black and white......matchbook maybe? |

Never seen anything like it. How thick is the card stock and is it white or gray back? |

I think that it is cut from a 1940s issue of "Complete Baseball" magazine, or similar type magazine. |

I collect Foxx "things". I've got hundreds of cards and photos. My best guesstimate is that the photo is from about 1928. Maybe 29. I've not seen this item anywhere. Probably never will again. Neat picture of the "man". |

I too am a type card collector, though i may not have a vast collection akin to Leon and others, im quite familer with a lot of issues, and ive never seen this card before, or any card in the same format. I too find this very interesting, there's nothing better then someone starting a post about a card they found that no one can identify imo! |

Without any kind of number, or team, or trademark, or anything it's kind of hard to say if this was from a set or cut from some kind of promotional item. Maybe just cut from some kind of box. I have seen items such as this (not this exact type) and they were not identifiable. Sometimes you just have to go with "cinderella" card. Cool item....or card |

Ted, I posted the card to the knowlegeable vintage bb game board at yahoo. Nothing definitive so far, but one fellow suggested a c1935 Jimmie Foxx Game by Diamond Toys (which has yet to be discovered). Hold onto it. |

Agreed...unless their machine was DWI that left border isn't machine cut....I still think it's cut from a box or promo item. regards |

The texture/grain of the card back also suggests the "not a card" theory. |

Nice 1936 Pin. It was was a product called "Life Bread". Not a cereal. I've got one graded a 5 by PSA. They turn up quite often. But I collect all things Foxx. Still a nice item. |

Thanks Mike. I actually had the right info (Life Bread), I was just twisted in my thoughts and said the wrong thing when I said Cereal. It was easy to misthink Life Cereal, cause I eat the stuff |

Ted, is it possible that the picture was cut out of a magazine and glued to a piece of cardboard some 75 years ago? I saw some Wilson Weiners created like that not too long ago. |

This card is one piece of thick cardboard, upon which Foxx's picture is printed. |

1927 Honey Boy is 1 5/8 by 2 3/8 and has a similar format/design. Could this be a trimmed, blankbacked 'chase' card not unlike the peckinpaugh card from the Holland Winnipeg set? Someone suggested that the photo of Foxx looks circa 1928, so maybe it is some sort of obscure Canadian issue or proof of an uncirculated issue from the same producers..? |

The Honey Boys have first names and no team on front and the images are lower quality and not as clear as the Foxx. |

Sorry Ted, I gave it a shot. The knowledgeable old BB Games board were even stumped. One fellow suggested a W517 They move at a snails pace there, so there's still hope. |
