1974 Johnny Pro Phillies #16 and #32 |
In 1974, Johnny Pro issued 12 Phillies cards on a white background. The Robinson card was the first to enter my collection, and I recently picked up the two additional cards featured at the top of this post. That means I'm just 9 cards away from a full team set. (Please see here for my updated 1970-1974 Phillies Want List.)
The Dave Cash card came from a recent work/Hurricane Sandy stress-induced Checkoutmycards buying binge.
Steve Carlton came my way via an eBay auction. I have to give some credit (and free advertising) to the seller, who sent along a typed two-page listing of additional Carlton oddball cards he had for sale. If you're in the market for vintage oddball Phillies cards (and if you're reading this, you probably are), please send him an e-mail at Nedco7 at comcast dot net. The Carlton card arrived quickly and very well packaged, so I can comfortably give the seller The Phillies Room seal of approval.

That's a great set. I somehow lucked into getting the Schmidt card on eBay for about $15; it's the most expensive card in the set with a Beckett price of about $75 or $100, IIRC. So then I had to get the rest of it. I think I need about 2 or 3 still.
I wouldn't mind finding one already punched out and then standing them up on a shelf, but I'm not going to punch out the ones I have!
