There are just four members of the 1983 Phillies squad with little to no Phillies cardboard representation. And one of them has never appeared on a Phillies baseball card.

Tony Ghelfi (3 games in 1983) - 1984 Tastykake Phillies #19 and 1985 Tastykake Phillies #17
Local product Milbourne was purchased from the Indians by the Phillies in December 1982. During his short time with the club, he hit just .242 serving as Joe Morgan's primary back-up at second base. The Phils sold him to the Yankees in mid-July, but he still received a Phillies card in the 1983 Topps Traded set. (I'm still trying to track down a 1983 Tastykake Phillies set at a reasonable price.)
Ghelfi was drafted by the Phillies in 1980 and his three-game appearance in 1983 wasn't enough to merit him a standard issue baseball card. Fortunately for him, and Phillies baseball card collectors, his status as a pitching prospect earned him inclusion in both the 1984 and 1985 Phillies Tastykake sets. I created a custom card for Ghelfi using his pictures from the team's 1984 Yearbook and his 1984 Tastykake card.
0 Cards
Alejandro Sanchez (15 games from 1982-1983)
Steve Comer (3 games in 1983)
Comer was released by the Mariners in April, and signed by the Phillies in June 1983. He pitched in three games for the club, his first being an emergency start in the second game of a double header against the Padres in late August. He appeared in two games in relief in the Phillies last two regular season games in October. I've never even seen a picture of Comer in a Phillies uniform.

Kevin Elster was on the Phillies? Wow, I REALLY checked out after the 1994 strike!
