1982 Topps Appreciation:  On December 3, 1974, the Phillies traded Del Unser, Mac Scarce and John Stearns to the Mets for Tug McGraw, Don Hahn and Dave Schneck.  It turned out to be one of the better deals in franchise history as McGraw played a huge part in the team's 1980 championship run.  Unser would return to the Phillies as a free agent in March 1979.

Stearns made his major league debut on September 22, 1974 with the Phillies in the second game of a double header against the Expos.  He went 1 for 2 with a single off Mike Torrez in the fifth.  It was to be his first and last game with the Phillies.  Stearns enjoyed a 10-year career with the Mets and would be a four-time All-Star with the club.
