| 1979 Topps #398 and #210 |
1979 Topps Flashback: Featured today are two players who were part of probably the worst Phillies trade in the franchise's history. Not pictured is the throw-in included by the Phillies when they sent perennial All-Star shortstop Larry Bowa to the Cubs back on January 27, 1982 - future Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. Here are a few posts from several years back in which I cover the trade in a little more detail.
I didn't have Bowa's Topps card in 1979, but I definitely had his Burger King card which featured the exact same front. That card was one of my early favorites in my small collection, and I would have been heart-broken had I known Bowa had just three more seasons remaining with the Phils.
