T204 question

I came across a Murnane at a local antique show in g-vg condition (let's say g), and the guy wanted $325. Does he sell for a premium (not according to the guide, which lists one in vg condition at $125)? What's a good price for the card?

Thanks

Murnane is a HOF'er and his T204 card is his only career contemporary card so that is why many people may pay a premium. If the card is not graded, you also have to be very careful as many of the T204's have been touched up with color and/or trimmed.

Murnane is NOT in the Hall of Fame.

Well, VCP does not list him as a H.O.F.

but, if your card was to be graded a PSA 2 then the guy is asking too much. one sold for in Aug. 2007 for 224.00 graded a PSA 2.

He's not in the Hall and a nice gd example should be between $100-$175, generally speaking.....good luck

Thanks John!

Wow!!! somethin' else I've learned on Network54

From the HOF website: Tim Murnane received the Spink Award in 1978, along with Dick Young.

In 1946 the Baseball Hall of Fame established a Roll of Honor and named Murnane one of twelve writers to be honored.

Don't you love wikipedia!

We never had him listed as a Hall of Famer... just checked now and it is listed correct with only one card.

If the Murnane happens to be a square Ramly I would rush back there and buy it really really quickly!

I would think a T.T.T. back of him would be worth the money too,Barry
