2.675x2.25". The 1943 M.P. & Co. (R302-1) baseball card set consists of 24 cards and was issued by the Michael Presser & Co. novelty and carnival supply company. The cards were produced as crudely drawn cartoons presented in bold colors, but show little resemblance to the players themselves. The World War II era set was issued in two types and a minimum of five subtypes. The set was issued in strips, originally, and could often be purchased at candy counters. The fronts displayed the drawing of the player, often in action, with the player's name printed within a baseball. The backs consisted of brief descriptions of the player, including his full name. One major type also offered the player's team, while the second showed no team.

James Emory Foxx , nicknamed "Double X" and "the Beast", was an American professional baseball first baseman who played 20 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies. A tremendous power hitter, Foxx retired with the second most home runs, behind only Babe Ruth, and fifth-most runs batted in (RBI). His greatest seasons were with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Boston Red Sox, where he hit a then-record 30 or more home runs in 12 consecutive seasons and drove in more than 100 runs in 13 consecutive years. Considered one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, Foxx became the ninth player to win a Triple Crown and set a then-record for most MVP awards with three. Jimmie Foxx was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1951.
