Scorecard scored in pencil. The game was loaded with HOF participants: Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and Tony Perez for the Reds, Mike Schmidt for the Phillies. All of the HOFers reached base at least twice, but the only milestone was Tony Perez's career HR #200. Game won by the Reds 5-4.

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.
