NNO Danny Murphy

Danny Murphy (1876 - 1955). He batted right-handed and threw right-handed. He is identified primarily with the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League. On the cardboard side, his vintage presence is anchored to the E101 Anonymous Set of 50 issue, which is where collectors of the period most commonly encounter him. His caramel-card appearance situates him within the early-twentieth-century E-card issues, the confectionery premiums that ran parallel to the tobacco sets of the same period. For collectors, his E101 Anonymous Set of 50 appearance is the principal tangible record of his playing days, surviving in the same checklist universe that documents the bigger names of his contemporaries.
