Jerry Martin received his "rookie" card in this set, as he didn't appear in a Topps set until 1977. Wayne Simpson and Erskine Thomason receive their sole Phillies cards, even though they appear in the uniforms of the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, the Phillies top farm club in 1975. Simpson appeared in 7 games for the 1975 Phillies, while Thomason pitched just one inning for the 1974 squad.
Dick Ruthven isn't in this gallery, even though his 1976 SSPC card features him wearing a Phillies uniform. The back of Ruthven's card indicates he had moved on to the Atlanta Braves.
