This man's 5th-ever trading card according to Beckett's BASEBALL CARD ALPHABETICAL CHECKLIST

#19 - RICH MURRAY, 1980 Phoenix Giants

Styled after 1911-1938 Zeenut Pacific Coast League cards ~ Sponsored by Valley National Bank

Styled after the popular 1911-1938 Zeenuts candy set issued by Collins-McCarthy Candy Co., this card comes from a 1980 set featuring Phoenix Giants of the Pacific Coast League. The set was sponsored by Valley National Bank and produced by Cramer Sports Promotions (CSP). CSP later became Pacific Trading Cards noted initially for excellent Baseball Legends series and later some very attractive cards licensed by Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Hockey League and both Major Indoor Soccer League and National Professional Soccer League, as well as a number of non-sport card issues. 

The card is a rather unusual 2" by 4" size with coupon intact. Cards of this size fit nicely mounted in 6-pocket collector sheets.

The 1980 Phoenix Giants was the top minor league affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. For those interested in pursuing a complete set, following is a checklist.

ANY number of singles will ship for the one single-card rate IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. Questions? Email us.

Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery). We also offer UNLIMITED singles (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) shipped via Ground Advantage for the one card rate. Both services include insurance but USPS Ground Advantage is considerably quicker, with fewer limitations.

Condition: Near-Mint or better - check the high-resolution scans. Since we have just one card in stock, this is the card the buyer will receive.

Important: Shipping Information

Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low. Our primary objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping. If you ever believe you are being overcharged on shipping, please email us and we will double-check the facts of the matter. Thank you!

  • U.S. residents: We combine multiple items purchased so you pay only the shipping on the heaviest item - all other items ship free of charge. (An exception would be if an item must be sent via media/book rate.)
  • All Other Countries: Email us first. Many listings indicate shipment to U.S. or U.S. & Canada only, but we actually ship worldwide.
  • To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount.
  • We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect.
  • Items are shipped the next business day. We ship 5 - usually 6 - days each week.

Payment should be made within 7 days after invoice has been received. A-106
