(Greetings on National Eight-Track Tape Day. Although I have a fondness for many things '70s, the eight-track tape is something I never played in person or even saw. I think of it as an "early '70s" fad as I went straight to smaller-sized cassette tapes. Anyway, it's time for Cardboard Appreciation. This is the 280th in a series. Have a nice day!): Have you ever gone through your collection, stopped on a card and said to yourself (because saying it to the people in your house would be pointless), "that looks nothing like a (your choice of team here) card." I've done it with this card. Repeatedly. So much so, in fact, that I don't think there is any card that looks less like a Phillies card, while saying "Phillies" on it, than this one. Gold and green are completely foreign to the Phillies' color scheme (well, except in 1938 ). I don't know who Topps thought it was fooling here, although I'm sure they didn't thin...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
