#716 - Dale Murphy All-Star


What a card: Dale Murphy was coming off another season in which he played 162 games when this card was issued. He led the NL in home runs, slugging percentage and total bases.

My observation on the front: That's definitely spring training. A chain-link fence and what appears to be a ranch home are tell-tale signs.

More opinion from me: Murphy is sweaty. Ew.

All-Star Game performance: Murphy went 2-for-3 and drove in a run for the National League in the 1984 All-Star Game. His hits accounted for the NL's first and last runs in a 3-1 victory.

Legitimate All-Star card or fake All-Star card: It's legitimate. He played the whole game.


My observation on the back: Oof. Ron Cey in the league leaders as a Cub. That hurts.
