The 1964 Phillies spent 132 days in first place, led as late as September 26th, and weren't eliminated until September 29th. With the World Series scheduled to start on October 7th, they placed their orders for press pins - which became wasted money once the Cardinals clinched.
Long-time friend of the company Carl Frysinger recently passed and made arrangements to consign his collection. With a collection that stretched from 1887 - 2022 and was as close to comprehensive as we've ever seen, he was one of the foremost Phillies collectors in the hobby. In his memory The Collector Connection will be donating 1% of our portion of the proceeds of the sale of his items to the Central PA Foodbank in Carl’s name.
