So Kerry (Cards on Cards) was doing some spring cleaning and he offered a pick-a-team box of cards to people who sent him cards from his want list. I sent him some 2020 Allen & Ginters for his set build and picked the Phillies for my return cards. He sent a lot of cards, so let's just look at some highlights.
- A couple 1979 Topps of 1980 title team core contributors.
- 1996 card of a key contributor from the 1993 pennant winners.
- Elite base stealer (2006).
- 2013 Topps Archives of the GOAT
- 2013 Topps Chrome orange refractor
- 2014 Bowman blue parallel - SN500
- Best sports mascot ever (2015).
- 2019 Allen & Ginter of the 4-time Cy Young Award winner
- The Phanatic again (2019).
- 2020 Topps Fire of the Big Easy
- 2020 Topps Opening Day
There were some Abreus and Burrells. A few Utleys and Rhys Hoskinses. A couple Thomes. A Cole Hamels insert honoring his no-hitter at Wrigley. So yeah - plenty of goodness.

The orange Halladay is really cool.
ReplyDeleteThat 1980 Phillies team was loaded with memorable names: Rose, Trillo, Bowa, Schmidt, Smith, Maddox, McBride, Boone, McGraw, and Carlton.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't think it was a surprise when they won it.
DeleteThe '93 team would have been the opposite if they had gotten it done against Toronto.
