1965 Topps - 3rd Series Phillies Alumni

It took us a while, but we finally finished off the third series of the 1965 Topps set we've been collecting since late 2019.  I'm getting closer to completely wrapping up the set, and the blog celebrating every card in the set, so I'd expect these series review posts to start to come a little quicker.

Here's a look at the 20 cards in the set's third series featuring a former Phillies player, coach or manager.  Clicking on the card number underneath each picture will take you to that card's post.

Special Note:  Fellow collector Rick pointed out to me via text that some of the cards included above are not in fact true team issues.  These are either smaller in size, feature action poses or in some cases are printed on a thicker stock of cardboard.  Rick notes the cards listed above that are almost certainly not team-issued are as follows:  Jim Konstanty, Jack Meyer, Gary Sutherland, Tony Taylor (no auto) and Bill White (with bat).  Collectors should also be aware there are photo cards of similar size and paper stock featuring action shots of Jim Bunning, Chris Short and Rick Wise.  Finally, there's a Mike Ryan card available that is slightly smaller in size than the team-issued version.

1970 to 1979 Phillies Team-Issued Photo Cards Want List

1961 Topps #144 Jim Coker

Recent purchase from Pitchout Baseball Cards in Avalon, NJ

From 1958 until 1962, Jim Coker played 99 games with the Phillies, hitting .227 with 7 home runs and 39 RBI. Somehow, his .214 average in 81 games in 1960 merited his election to the Topps All-Star Rookie team.

After leaving the Phils following the '62 season, Jim would play briefly for the San Francisco Giants (4 games in 1963) and in parts of four seasons (1964-1967) with the Cincinnati Reds.

Who is That?: The Phillies had no one on their active roster in 1960 who wore #39. So if I assume this picture was taken some time in 1960, and that's a big assumption, the guy in the background leaning on a bat is one of three Phillies' coaches from 1960 - Andy Cohen, Dick Carter or Peanuts Lowrey.
