Game 118 (Continued) - Alumni Weekend Chachi Cards

I didn't have enough room to tag everyone in my main game summary post, so here's a continuation post featuring the bulk of the Chachi Alumni Weekend insert cards.  This is always a fun night, and creating these cards is annually a fun project.

Just One Card - 1990s Phillies Edition (Part One - 1990 to 1995)

Having wrapped up my Phillies Missing Links custom card sets from the 1980s and 1990s, I wanted to look back at those players who just barely missed inclusion.  These are the players who have been featured on one and only one Phillies baseball card.

There were 23 Phillies players from the 1990s with no Phillies baseball card appearances, and there were 26 Phillies players from the decade with only one Phillies baseball card appearance.  Here's part one of the list, with part two to follow in a separate post.

1995 Phillies Team Issue #5

1994 Bowman #552

1996 Score #238

1996 Phillies Team Issue #37

1993 Phillies - No Missing Links

1993 Ultra #437, 1994 Pacific #481, 1994 Stadium Club Phillies #236 and 1993 Stadium Club Phillies #10

It was fun going through the 1992 Phillies roster and determining which players appeared on only a few (or no) Phillies cards, so I thought I'd do the same thing for the the 1993 club.  Amazingly enough, each of the 40 players who spent time with the team in 1993 eventually found their way on to a Phillies baseball card.  Unlike 1992, there wasn't much roster turn-over, so while it's impressive that the players listed below received a Phillies baseball card, it's not completely inconceivable.  I may continue this exercise for a few more years, but I would suspect the coverage ratio of Phillies players to players receiving Phillies baseball cards will drop significantly in the mid to late '90s.
