It is difficult to imagine a nicer signed image of "Double X" than the offered piece. Legendary photographer George Burke has captured "The Beast" in all his glory as he looks towards the camera with an inviting smile. The awe inspiring image, however, nearly pales in comparison to the beautiful black fountain pen signature on its surface. In a manner which is nothing short of magnificent, the famed homerun slugger has penned his name ("Best Wishes Jimmie Foxx") in bold (10 out of a possible 10) ink. The photo itself features a George Burke photographer's stamp on the verso, and rates a conservative Near Mint (NM). A spectacular piece worthy of inclusion in the finest baseball autograph or signed photo collection.
