1971 Topps Missing Links:  Ken Reynolds' call-up in September 1970 earned him a place in the 1971 Topps set on a Rookie Stars card with two other pitchers sharing the Reynolds surname.  It was a clever idea on Topps' part.  Reynolds would get his own Phillies card in the 1972 Topps set, and his final Topps card features him with the Twins in the 1973 set.  In parts of three seasons for the Phillies, Reynolds appeared in 72 games, compiling a 7-24 record and a 4.34 ERA.
