And yet, somehow, the team is now 3 games ahead of the Braves in the NL East. Amazing.
2010 Topps #154 |
Former Phillies Triviality: There are four Ex-Phillies featured as Phillies on regular-issued 2010 baseball cards. Each of them left the Phillies in the offseason for different teams, and they've each since moved on to yet another organization - Cliff Lee (Mariners to Rangers), Pedro Feliz (Astros to Cardinals), Eric Bruntlett (Nationals' organization to the Yankees' organization) and Jack Taschner (Pirates to the Dodgers).
2011 Chachi Set: The 2011 Chachi Set Planning Committee will be meeting shortly to discuss the classic Topps' design to be used for the 2011 Chachi set. Without giving too much away, the Committee has held internal discussions and the early indications are that either the '83 or '71 Topps sets will be used as the inspiration for next year's set. Surprisingly, the '88 Topps set has entered the fray and the '65 Topps set has emerged as a dark horse candidate. The '65 Topps set intrigues me, and I only have a few more years until Topps runs this design out again as 2014 Topps Heritage.

1983 Topps is my all-time favorite, so I'm pulling for that. I would love to see this Phillies team featured in that design. I think the All-Star cards from that set are awesome, too. I really love the Schmidt, wearing the warmup jacket, getting ready for some fielding practice.
The '65 set is also a great design. Especially for the Phillies. I love the white penannt with the red Phillies on it.
I'm leaning towards '83. I'm a little concerned about having to come up with 2 pictures for guys like Wilson Valdez, but I've always liked the '83 set.
Regarding the 2011 Chachi set: Use 1967!
Regarding 1967 - I'll get there one day! I figure I have a finite number of sets to work with up until 1990.
