1956 Topps - 3rd Series Phillies Alumni

My 1956 Topps blog is still humming along, and it's close to crossing into the fourth and final series of the iconic set.  I'll eventually publish a page looking back at the breakdown of cards to be found in the third series, which consisted of 80 cards between #181 and #260.  Of those 80 cards, 14 were current, former or future Phillies players, managers or coaches, and a gallery of those 14 Phillies alumni cards is displayed below.

1956 Topps #211 Murry Dickson

Murry Dickson was a 20-game winner with the Pirates in 1951 and earned a save in the 1953 All-Star Game. He pitched with the Phillies from 1954 until his May 1956 trade to the St. Louis Cardinals with Herm Wehmeier.

This was another Hummell's purchase in October 1987.
