Starts to make you wonder if anyone has ever attempted a master set of the variations of the 129 players on the checklist! Between colors, portraits, and back combinations you're easily over a dozen possible for each player. We have Blue Big Head, Light wear and minor rust and Blue Small Head, Light wear and rust, 2 Reds with different dominos on the back, 5/4 back has moderate wear to the front and light soiling to the back with no rust, 6/6 back is very nice with just some minor soiling front and back and a clean rim and Green has light soiling to the front but paper loss to the back.

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.

We are finishing up Carl's amazing lifetime collection in this auction and would like to thank everyone who supported the efforts, especially those who made an extra donation on top of our efforts. We will be sending a little over $1000 to the foodbank in Carl's name.
