Stadium Club, Murphy, and Mormons

2018 Stadium Club has been out a few weeks now. I haven't bought any boxes or packs. I've picked up two insert cards from the release on ebay, but one of them I just bought yesterday so I'll wait until I get that one in to post about them.

Stadium Club is well known for it's great photography. It really does have some great images. One such is this 2015 Stadium Club card featuring Dale Murphy.


I picked this card up as part of a dime sale ran on Twitter by former blogger Play at the Plate. He hasn't posted on his blog in almost two years, but he's active on Twitter.

Murphy is a guy that I collect passively. Meaning, when I see his cards in a dime box I'll typically grab them, but I don't do ebay searches for him.

I've always liked Murphy. Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy were my two favorite players when I was really little. One reason I've been drawn to Murphy is because I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, commonly referred to as Mormons. Dale Murphy is also a Mormon. I have a binder titled Mormon Athletes and Murphy is in the binder along with Danny Ainge, Wally Joyner, Bryce Harper, Shawn Bradley, Steve Young and a few others.

  1. Me too! Of course, anybody reading my blog posts with a heavy focus on collecting BYU athletes has probably figured that out or at least assumed it already.

  2. I'm going straight off the top of my head, but that has to be the best looking Dale Murphy base card out there.

    P.S. Glad to know PATP is still out there doing his thing.
