FBI Panels

[ArmourPhil]

Any FBI collectors out there. I picked up a handful of these back in the 1980s on a trip to Toronto. They are printed on the back of this little cardboard carton that holds 6 cartons of fruit juice. They are very rarely seen auctioned. There are only 6 Ryan graded (only 1 PSA 3 is better than my PSA 2), 2 Brett (my PSA 2 is the highest) and 3 Rose (my PSA 4 is the highest) .

These are obviously much rarer than their TF&D cards but I guess of little interest to most collectors.

I’m sure they are very interesting to player collectors, but very scarce and rarely are available for sale.

The larger interest seems to sit with certain players. Overall they are scarcely seen for sale, but I have seen several panels sit unsold on eBay too. Either lackluster players or perhaps a bit too optimistically priced?

I have the two Garvey discs. Have only seen an additional 1-2 more ever offered for sale.

Only to player collectors since the set is not well cataloged, a canadian issue, and not too flashy just doesn't garner the interest but they are super rare issued 2 sets 1981 and 1982. I always love the full boxes.

Phil-- when I saw title I thought maybe you were collecting mug shot panels

And team collectors, I would give my right arm for a 1981 FBI Dave Kingman disc. One sold for $75 years ago on eBay, but I didn't realize it until after the fact.

I've never seen the Kingman, does it show him as a Cub or Met?

I've been looking for the 1982 Ellis Valentine forever, never seen this one either.

He is listed as a Cub on the 1981 FBI disc even though he was traded to the Mets before the season started, I will put a scan of it up tonight.

I thought I had a better scan of the 1981 FBI Dave Kingman disc, but this was all I could find.

Thanks, I was afraid there was another near impossible card to add to my wantlist.

Pics of panels I discussed in previous post.

Just picked up this Seaver-Valentine complete box. I bought it for the Ellis Valentine but the Seaver was a nice bonus.

I love these! I have Gary Carter, Tim Raines and Ron Guidry panels.
