1978 Eddie Murray Discussion

I found some of these comments about Eddie Murray's 1978 cards worth thinking about.

What do you think about this?

  1. Wow. That's a crazy price discrepancy. I think it has to do with two key things:

    1. There's obviously a lower demand for Kellogg's compared to Topps. Topps is his most recognizable rookie card. There might even be collectors who don't consider his Kellogg's to be a true rookie card.

    2. If you focus in on production numbers, there's probably a lot more 1978 Topps baseball cards produced than 1978 Kellogg's cards. Now usually that would mean lower values, but in this situation there 18 PSA 10 Topps rookies out of over 8,500 copies submitted... which is only .002% (about 1 per 500 copies submitted) of the population. On the other hand, there are 18 PSA 10 copies of the Kelloggs out of 229 total submitted which is 7.8% (about 1 per 13 copies) of the population.

  2. Which would have more unopened product and which unopened product would have more chances at a grade of 10?
