The Phillies Room: 2007-2009 Phillies Alumni Photo Cards

Number of Known Cards: 42
Card Size: 4" x 6"
Description: I was admittedly completely unaware of the existence of these cards until an eBay search in 2018 yielded photos of team-issued photo cards for Phillies alumni using a design I had never seen before. The 2008 cards have a blue border with the Phillies Alumni logo along with the player's name and uniform number at the bottom. The 2009 cards have a gray border with the same Phillies Alumni logo at the bottom, again along with the player's name and uniform number. Copyright dates and the corresponding year of issuance can be found on the backs of these cards.

How Distributed: Between 2007 and 2009, the Phillies created special alumni photo cards for returning players to sign at various autograph events, during alumni weekends and as part of any reunion-related public appearances. A team card for the 1950 National League Champion Whiz Kids was also created. Fellow collector Rick shared with me his list of these cards, which is where the information below comes from. He also notes the 2007 Tekulve card was created for an autograph signing with the ex-reliever that was ultimately cancelled due to inclement weather.
