Thurman Munson - Topps "What If" 1980 - Edition of 105
Thurman Munson wore jersey number 15, thus this limited edition of prints is $15.00 (plus shipping and handling).
The edition is limited to 105. Munson led all of MLB catchers (by a large margin in 1976, granted this card is 1973 which represents the 1972 season) with 105 RBI’s. As the newly named team captain, Munson put together a masterful campaign that led the Yankees to their first American League pennant in 12 years and earned him the 1976 AL MVP Award.
Because the New York Yankees captain tragically died in a plane crash on August 2, 1979, Topps did not include him in their standard 1980 baseball card set. As a result, the concept of a 1980 Topps Munson card remains one of the ultimate "what-if" scenarios for collectors, inspiring many custom "phantom" creations over the years
Prints are all on archival 90 lb. 14” x 11” paper with one inch border, resulting in image size being 12” x 9”. All prints are signed, but not by hand, and numbered, but not by hand (thus affordability/ accessibility) and come with a printed sheet verifying their uniqueness.
