While it is not our desire to get into the habit of offering more modern cards in our auctions the 1985 Topps Minis are an exception. These cards were never actually released for public consumption but somehow managed to sneak out into the collecting world. Allegedly a result of O-Pee-Chee"s testing of new printing equipment an undersized "set" of 132-cards (the number of cards traditionally found on a single sheet) were printed about 10% smaller than the typical Topps card and on brighter paper than the typical cards. The result is a smaller card more vibrant and reminiscent of some of the "premium" cards that would become standard in the hobby half a dozen years later.It is theorized that only about 100 sheets of 1985 Minis were printed resulting in just 100 or so copies of each card available. Just ten copies of the Eddie Murray card have been graded making this card an anomaly not just in our auction but in the hobby itself as a scarce modern example of a Hall of Famer. While 1985 Minis are certainly available just ten Hall of Famers were printed making the much tougher to find.Clearly a difficult and interesting card from a little-known issue in Topps" more modern history.Population Data:PSA Population: 6 total graded 2 at this level 3 higherSGC Population: 4 total graded 2 at this level 1 higher
