Need help with identification

RITM · Nov 30, 2010

Hi folks, thanks in advance for any help/insight.

I am wanting to say that I purchased this while in high school at least 14 years ago. It's roughly 5 x 8 and has multiple pin holes in it.

What is it?

Thanks again,

listed in guides as 1936 R311 premium (issued as an instore premium by Diamond Stars Gum/National Chicle). They came in glossy or leather surface texture

Foxx books for $125 NRMT, $65 EX, $35 VG for glossy. Leather about 50% more

Thanks so much. I am going to show some ignorance here but is this "Jimmie" Foxx?

I presume this is the glossy variation?

Same guy Craig! His name was often spelled with a "y".

Ya like IndyMann said, quite a few of his cards say "Jimmy" but his real name is "Jimmie"

The cool thing about the R311 Foxx is it is one of only a couple card/premiums that show him as a Catcher (he only played Catcher about 3% of his games in his career).

I had a couple R311's in storage and you reminded me to scan them and add them to my site.

As you can see with the Cochrane, many R311's have pinholes
