I assume my 77T is waiting for my return to work on Monday!! Excited, but wondering to myself if I didn't make the "money" choice, rather than the personal choice, by getting the RC over the more favored 78T card. Both were wants and I am guessing the 78 would be cheaper to buy if I came across them in the future.

That certainly sucks. I am not really a fan of 8x10s per se and likely would have opted out had I known, but I appreciate the replacement.

there is some bad news regarding the cards, his agent wouldn't let him sign them. I sent an 8x10 and your card should be in the package.
How the hell can Murphy's agent order him not to sign the cards? It makes no sense. Didn't he sign cards at the National? And he signs cards through the mail.
Something doesn't add up.

I paid 10 and never sent my card, which was my fault.

Is there a 8X10 for me or just a refund? I'm totally cool with either


And Austin: reps and agents make up rules like that on the fly all the time. It's pretty normal.

This was a tristar signing. It has nothing to do with Murphy's usual habits.

I'm not in any way involved as I didn't opt for the auto but do you have any idea why no cards? That's pretty interesting...

You would think it would have been made clear before the show that he would not be signing cards. I had wanted to send a rc in for signing and am glad I didnt as I have no use for an 8 x 10.

I'm confused, Murphy signed a bunch of cards. I was standing 3 feet from him almost the whole signing because I was handing out FCB cards. He kept saying how much he loved the A&G card of his each time he signed one. Not to mention I saw at least a dozen 77 Topps signed also.

Ok, I was standing 5 feet from Murphy and his "handler" at the end and this is how I remember it:

-His handler made a big deal about him signing the cards since I believe he'd reached his limit on cards since they kept track of each different type of item signed.
-He signed the balls and the 8X10's since they had time and those hadnt reached their limits.

Chris is not being accurate when he says they didnt sign cards since Ken and I both saw him sign dozens and did it happily. By the end of the line, he had reached the total amount so it was cut off. The autos are free to convention attendees but Tri-star still pays for them individually. Tri-Star was also VERY strict about a 1 auto limit so the fact we got all the items at the end was a bonus.
