By my tally, and I'll readily admit up front that I could be wrong, there were 34 players who suited up for the Phillies between 2000 and 2009 who never appeared on a Phillies baseball card. But before we get to those 34 players, here are the players who just missed the cut having appeared on exactly one baseball card as a member of the Phillies. (This is part one, and part two will appear in a future post.)

^Topps tried to give Brian L. Hunter a card in the 2001 Topps Traded set, but they used a photo of Brian R. Hunter instead so I'm not counting it. I wrote about this confusion in this post.
Given that Crespo and Collier only appear on hard-to-find team issued photo cards, I'd consider these two of my personal collecting white whales. Thanks goes out to fellow Phillies collector Rick for sending me scans of these rare cards.

I'm truly jealous of the annual photo card set that your Phillies put out. Seeing so many names listed with one of those as their only Philly card really illustrates how many holes that the sets plug. I wish the Cubs did something like that!
Phillies collectors are very lucky! Now if the product on the field was just a little better . . .
