It's amazing how quickly Phillies cards fell out of favor with my group of friends. By the mid-'80s, everyone else was collecting Mets cards and I was sticking with the Phillies.<br /><br />14k - I didn't see the two Phillies Pitch/Hit/Run cards until much later, but I agree with you - the red ink on the back made those cards pretty cool.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-63892945563409841522011-09-19T11:30:00.440-04:002011-09-19T11:30:00.440-04:00For me, the most memorable card that year is the n...For me, the most memorable card that year is the national Burger King Pitch/Hit/Run Steve Carlton (#2) with the red ink on the back. Otherwise, it's nearly identical to the regular Topps and Burger King Phillies card, but somehow that red back always stuck out in my mind and made the card special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-12834908982541060812011-09-18T23:26:11.679-04:002011-09-18T23:26:11.679-04:00when I think of the Phillies who won the World Ser...<i>when I think of the Phillies who won the World Series in 1980, I think of the 1981 Topps set, and not the 1980 Topps set.</i><br /><br />Same here, Jim. I stopped collecting cards after 1972, and didn't collect anything until getting all the Burger King Phillies cards in '79 and '80. <br /><br />After the Phillies won, that got me going again, and I restarted by getting the '81 Topps and Fleer factory sets. Those green-bordered, red-capped '81 Topps Philles cards featured all the players from the World Champs (unlike the '80 set).<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your '81 review next Sunday!Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
