1971 Topps #55 Steve Carlton
It certainly doesn't get any easier for the Phillies with this 4-game series against the new team atop the NL Central. When the Phils hosted the 
Cardinals back in May, I included a '67 Topps Steve Carlton baseball card in the series preview post. The Phils went on to win 3 out of the 4 games in that series. I'm going to try the same thing this time around, this time with a '71 Topps card of Lefty.

Entering the year, I needed approximately two-thirds of the set - 271 cards - to wrap up the complete set. To date, I've added exactly zero (0) cards to the set, and I have yet to attend a baseball card show this year. I know I could pick up a nice lot of cards either through eBay or Checkoutmycards, but it's just so much more satisfying collecting a set by attending baseball card shows. Maybe in the fall there will be a nice baseball card show nearby.
Cardinals Probables: Blake Hawksworth, Chris Carpenter, Jaime Garcia, Adam Wainwright
