  • @ mcadams,
    That 77 Murphy your talking about is actually a different card.The first one he listed,I sent him a BIN offer on ebay & he accepted.He actually had 2 of them & was just listing them at seperate times.Prob to get the most he could for them.Can't blame him for that though,know what I mean?

    Ray says anyone can contact him through his email link on the set registry tab. He is taking offers on anything not included in his basic set. He had a small fortune invested in the master set.

    Cool, that sounds like a good time. Joey, I think you should get some of those pants like John Daly broke out this week at the British Open and wear them to your daughter's tournament. Nothing says professional like bright purple paisley pants on a dude.

    This is a thread is a great read. I am relatively new to CU and have posted to several other threads but not this one. I have been collecting Murphy since about 1986 and I collect raw (don't judge me) cards from 1977 to 1993. I also collect posters, mags, baseball, postcards, some graded cards and anything else Murphy. I am down to only 2 tea discs, the donruss aqueous, the 93 pinnacle promo and the SI sticker on my wantlist. I have seen, have or know about most things Murphy from 77 to 93 and there were several questions I saw you ask that went unanswered as I was reading.

    Thanks Michael and welcome to the boards. Send me your want list and I'll see if I can help- I have quite a few of the 80's era discs, but not sure which 2 you need. Regarding the 84 Team card, the guy who posts here regularly with the Alabama logo was trying to get PSA to recognize the different variations for the master set which most off us are working toward, but not sure if he had any luck with them or not.

    Just score two cheap PSA10s last night. I am always happy landing a bargain.

    My girls came in fifth out of eight. I was super proud of her. They had a 10 stroke limit and she hit that only twice.

    Her longest drive was close to 150 yards! The par four averaged 180 yards so that was popping for that age.

    The old saying that you drive for show and putt for dough is true, we will be practicing her putting and chipping a little more.

    Next year they are having a statewide tourney at Shoal Creek in B'ham, she will be in that one too.

    Gentlemen- I have upgraded several of my Murphy master set cards over the last year, plus I just got back a large PSA order a few weeks ago, and I'm left with some nice cards ranging from PSA 10 - PSA 6 and a few others that I probably could not sell on Ebay. These are all duplicates that I cannot use in my master set registry. I'd love to trade these for your duplicates. Some of these are very nice, some you could probably use as fillers. I would encourage others here to post their duplicates as well and perhaps we can turn this thread into an efficient way for us to trade and build our sets cheaply. My extras are below, sorted by grade. Look forward to seeing your dupes and of course any of these are for sale too, although I'd prefer trade.

    I assume you're referring to the #320 and not the #716, which is a bit more rare in 10. If its the #320, I'd start it @ 9.99 and hope to get between $15 and $18. A large Murphy collector sold off several hundred Murphy PSA 9's and 10's a few weeks and somewhat flooded the market with supply. You could have maybe gotten more before that happened.

    I'm getting the scanner out later this morning, but I wanted to add pics of a few cards I got back from a recent sub that will be new to the master set registry. One of my favorites is an artist's color sketch that looks like a cartoon caricature that you'd get at the fair. The card is clearly marked on the back as being from 1992, but I wasn't sure who made it. PSA named it "1992 Baseball Enquirer." I've seen a few other similar cards of other players on Ebay, but I don't have a checklist or know who else is in the set. I bought 3 Murphys from a dealer last year not knowing what they were and I'd say all 3 would grade in the 7 - 8 range, if subbed. I'll add pics of it and some of the others later today.

    Here goes... This is the 1992 Enquirer. I like it alot because I haven't seen many Murphy cards that are caricatures vs. real pictures. This is the only Murphy from this set I have ever seen after 20 yrs+ of collecting, so I'm assuming they are at least somewhat rare.

    The other interesting thing about the Enquiror card is that you'll notice there is no name on the front. Thats because its actually a game where you identify the player. There are hint questions on the back to help you figure out who the player is.

    The Enquiror card will be new to the master set. From the rest of my sub, I believe these are new as well. They are Red Foley's from the early 90s, but they aren't the stickers. Murphy cards were actually also on the cover of the '91 and 92 Foley books and I subbed one of each of those as well. Condition is not good, but I don't come across these frequently enough to wait on a better example.

    Lastly- I wanted to share one of the better raw cards from the 70's that I've found for Murphy in a while. Got this 79 OPC raw a few months ago as part of a 79 OPC Braves set for 6.99. The Murphy is fantastic and actually most every Braves card in the set was psa 8ish or better.

    The other card in the picture will also be new to the master set. Is is a 1986 Meadow Gold, but not the stat back that is more frequently found. This is the blank back, which is a bit tougher to come by. They come in panels of 3 and for some reason the Murphy panel is harder to find than the others.

    I think 4SC has recently pumped up the pops on the rookie in all of the higher grades. They've had dozens of 8's and 9's in the last few months.
  • CrimsonTiderCrimsonTider Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭
    I wish that 4SC would flood the market with 82 Topps PSA 10s so that the price would drop down to my budget.

    The 82 Topps cards has always been one of my favorites. It was the first card of Murph that I busted out of a pack when I was a kid.

    Has the VCP dropped on the 77 & 78 10s since the 4SC cards have hit the market?

  • GDM67GDM67 Posts: 2,523 ✭✭✭✭
    Somebody with access is going to have to answer that.

    I paid $50 for my rookie and $30.00 for my '78. They've listed their BINs at or around those prices in the last few months and they've been selling pretty consistently.

    Did any one of you guys get that '79 Hostess they were auctioning a couple of weeks ago?
  • mcadamsmcadams Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭
    I saw the Hostess, but it wasn't me who bought it. Regarding the recent increase in pop of the 77 RC, I don't think the price has really dropped on the psa10. They still seem to go over 1k when they show up on ebay. I'd like to own one, but no way would I ever pay close to that now that the pop is over 20.

    4SC brought back one 10 (that I saw, at least) to go along with the 9's and 8's. That's about what they were looking for as a price. Not sure if it sold, but I would guess that it did.

  • Thanks for the kind words mcadams & Crimson Tider, I really caught alot of flack from others for trying to sell the set for what I was asking.
    I wasn't trying to rip someone off,I did turn a small profit,but i had to make as much as possible for what I need to do.
    I really hated to part with my Murphy collection,because of how much I admired him during his playing days & still to this day. I was one of those kids who wanted to be just like Murphy when I grew up. I came up as a kid during his playing years. shortly after I turned 14 or 15 I started to develop rashes under my eyes that never would go away & started getting violently sick after long exposures to sun. Come to find out I had Lupus & it's progressively gotten worse every year. It has now got to the point to where I am having to do special construction to my home & adding a special window that blocks out most of the rays,but still allows lite to get in.When I go out during the day,I pretty much have to cover myself from head to toe. As I get older,it gets worse.......
