1988 Topps - Phillies Cards

1988 Topps #714, #348, #156 and #683
I spent all of 2014 looking back at the 1988 Topps set.  I used the 1988 Topps design for my 2014 Chachi set and I used 1988 Topps Phillies-related cards in my game preview posts.  I wasn't able to feature all the Phillies-related cards from the 1988 Topps set either because the Phillies didn't play every team in the American League or certain teams just had way too many cards featuring ex or future Phillies.

Similar to what I've done with the 1973 and 1979 Topps sets, here's a look at all 154 cards in the 1988 Topps set featuring players, coaches or managers with a Phillies connection.

  1. Just out of curiosity I went to look at the Mets in the list and was surprised to see Kevin Elster. I've apparently blocked out his half season in Philadelphia.

    Elster had a role in the movie "Little Big League". I did not know that (nor have I seen the movie).

  2. I've never even seen a picture of Elster in a Phillies uniform. If a good color photo does exist, it's just begging for a custom 1995 Topps card.
