My goal is to present the most accurate and complete information possible on the team-issued photo card sets issued by the Phillies over the past fifty-plus years. Please click on the year under each card below to learn more about each of these Phillies sets through the years.
And if anyone from the Phillies is reading this, please bring the sets back.
[Posts in brackets will eventually be updated and/or published.]

Do you know if the Phillies are releasing a series 2 of their stadium team postcard player sets? I'd like to get a card of Hyun-soo Kim in a Phillies uniform, and I'm thinking this might be the only one that gets released.
Let's hope so! There are rumors that one could be coming, especially given the recent prospect call-ups. My guess is that if there is going to be one, it will be on sale at the ballpark starting Tuesday night when the Phillies return home. They have 16 games remaining at home.
The only team issued cards I can think of that you haven't included in the "Other" list are:
- the 1940, 1941 and 1943 team issues
- 1957-1969 Jay Publishing 12-packs (technically not team issues but I believe they were sold at the park)
- 1970 8x10 set
While not sets, there are a few one-off cards as well, like the insert postcard in the Hunter Pence bobblehead, a similar one in a 2001 Larry Bowa bobblehead, and the 2009 Jayson Werth Home Run Derby postcard that was a giveaway of some sort.
A few other items you might want to cover as sets of a sort are:
- the annual Pride of the Phillies prints (originally posters)
- annual Wall of Fame prints
- occasional "other" prints like the ones to commemorate Harry Kalas's passing, Brad Lidge retiring as a Phillie, the 1976 throwback uni game, Pat Burrell's departure, separate HOF induction ones for Whitey, Schmidt, Lefty and Bunning, etc.
I consider each of those a "set" in that I am trying to complete them. Yet another possible such set would be all the SGA posters from over the years. The list goes on and on....
Do you think they will have a set this season?
No, I don't believe there will be a 2020 set sadly. There's a small glimmer of hope however as the Phillies had announced earlier in the summer there wouldn't be a 2020 Yearbook, and that went on sale last week.
The Junior Phillies sets of 1992, 1993 and 1994 might qualify. Each has 7 to 9 photos.
Hello, I have the 2003 All Vet set but mine are numbered to /1971 in red on the back & where the name is on the front that are usually gold it’s a red foil. Were these given out to the first 1971 people who entered that game or something? All the ones I see online are the gold foiled sets
I can honestly say I've never heard of that variation, and I have to imagine your assumption is correct and these were given out to the first 1,971 fans who entered the ballpark. Very cool!
