1984 Topps #801

Is my 1984 Topps set complete without this card?

CrimsonTider

Better question, is my 84 Topps brave set complete with out this card?

CrimsonTider

I believe that Mr. Lemke has this card listed in his catalog.

milbroco

My question why does he claim it to be one of a kind only to mention at the end that they were very few produced? So, is it one of a kind OR were there more than one with very few produced?

This card was produced by Topps as a prop for a movie, The Slugger's Wife. I got one on ebay some years back for $ 100. It is numbered 801 and pictures actor Michael OKeefe, who also played Danny Noonan in Caddyshack. The back has fake stats for the character in the movie, Darryl Plamer. It has been listed in SCD for a few years. And, yes, I think everyone needs it to complete the set

It is, indeed, listed in the Standard Catalog, but I doubt the price has been changed since the first time it appeared. I'd guess it's currently worth closer to the $100 that Al paid, than the four figures the guy on eBay was looking for.

Hey, Joey - Good thing he's not a Cardinals player! I would have to get it for my team sets. I guess it's up to you to get it since he is a Braves player!

Loved that movie...enjoyed the way he demonstrated what a slider was to his girlfriend(Rebecca De mornay).

80's unknown classic that featured the already mentioned 'Danny Noonan' along with 'Cousin Eddie'.

I think if you are a Braves fan from that era, you need to see the flick...and maybe buy the card.

Great card too.

No 84 set is complete without this guy.
