Does anyone if these are hard to find or not?

 

[ajw]

Huh. I've never seen them. No idea if they're rare, but thanks for the scan!

The Mattingly is funny, he looks like he's 12 in the picture. :lol:

I have the Henderson and Mattingly, who were my two favorite players in the '80s.
I bought them at a card show in '86 or '87 for about a buck each.
I'm sure they're relatively rare these days, but since the demand is probably low, they're not worth more than a few dollars each.

These came in packs back in the day. I used to buy them in the late 80's. Never did get the Ozzie.

These are SUPER RARE.

I have been looking for the ryan for over a year now. Cant remember the username, but the oil can boyd collector was offering I think $100 for one.

The player collectors should bid these up faily well.

If you have a ryan, please share a picture.

Maybe certain players are rare?? I have a zillion of the Murphys. glc (Gary) would love an Oil Can Boyd though.

Were they regional issues?

How big are yours? I've seen some say they are 3" and some say 1-7/16".

I think the 3" one were the ones sold in the souviener stands at the stadiums.

No clue. I used to buy them (Murphy) at shows when I was a kid for .10 - .25 cents.

I'd have to find them to confirm, but from what I remember, between the size of a quarter and a fifty cent piece. Not that large.

I have the Ozzie from the set along with the yount and raines. I won a lot of 5 or 6 on ebay a few years ago and traded the Durham and Sandberg

 

[Bob Loblaw]

These aren't licensed, are they?

 

[Phishmon23]

I've seen the Mattingly a few times, but never picked one up....I could use it if its available!!
