After about 6-8 months on the VAST list of sets to be added, finally!!
(I know, everyone just couldn't wait!)
Although, they have not yet set the weights for each card so it shows they are all 1.0 right now... Hopefully that gets updated soon to reflect correctly.

Just a question for you....did you consider non-Topps cards for the set? I saw this one on ebay today and thought it would look good in the set

That is a nice card for sure!
I would like to see how popular the set will be after it has been around a while ...but I guess anyone could request something like a 'master set' of the phillies team cards to include all the crazy leader cards and such.
I hope to see you add your cards and begin the set.. we have 5 people registered so far, and some strong collectors to compete with if that is your flavor.
mrpeanut... 1971 was the "Vet's" first year so I think that was Connie Mack..

I do not agree with this decision!
Did they give you a reason? I personally would be fine with adding it and agree it seems to fit as it is Topps issued...
Hi Marc,
The key-card team card sets only consist of team cards from the basic Topps set. We do not include Topps Teams or the later issued Topps Team Checklist cards in these types of sets. That is the reason your request was denied.
Thank you,

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope that all my friends at PSA have a great Turkey Day.
I was hoping that you could help me understand this decision more to deny this card from this set:
The Set Name is:
"Topps Philadelphia Phillies Team Cards"
* This card was produced by Topps
* This card depicts the Philadelphia Phillies team
* This was a mainstream issue -- one of the four issues Topps distributed in 1951.
I would greatly appreciate any rationale you can provide for this being excluded.
Thanks, as always, for your help-
Marc

Phillies of the 70's
I just subbed a few, and was able to score a 10 on the 2004 Team card I submitted. No other 10s though. I did recently upgrade my 1975 Mini Phillies team card. I'm happy to add that one. Given all the 1975 Mini that has become available over the past 12-24 months, and the fact that 10 populations have not exploded, I'm guessing that this will remain a tough one to add:
Anyone know why the 2009 and 2010 Phillies Cards were removed from the Set Composite?
Cosetta responded saying the 2009 and 2010 Cards were added in error and they are not consistent with the Team Card Composite for this set.
I reached out to Cosetta to find out more about why added and taken away and then looked at the different cards that are included versus those not included that could have been.
I think the argument is different for both issues you mention, Marc.
I now do NOT agree the 2009 and 2010 Topps cards should have been included in the Team Card Composite and remain since there was no 2009 topps team cards issued by Topps and the card in question was truley a post season highlight card(titled as such and not the whole team pictured) and not for the purposes of a team card by Topps.
The 2010 Topps #134 is actually a Team Leader Card and not a Team Card.(see 1982 Topps card #636 Rose/Carlton pictured) This too only pictures 4 players and is not a team card in the sense the rest of this specific composite is comprised.
The argument I see against the 1951 Topps team card made was that there were no other cards made in 1951 in the same style as the 1956 Topps and up where Team Cards were only a part of the set and not basically the whole set. Again, I think Cosetta is trying to keep this specific composite of the Registry Set consistent and after thinking about her response, I feel I agree more with her position then other positions on the matter.
If it ever came to a vote of the members of the set, I think I would ultimately vote 'nay' for the additions of the 1951, 2009 and 2010 Cards in question.
Here is my Recommendation:
To have ALL of these cards considered in a Set Registry to include the 1951 Topps, 1982 - 2000 Topps Cards, 2009 & 2010 Topps intended to highlight the Phillies Leaders as well as some more obscure cards pre-1951, I would recommend we request a new Key Card Set called something like, 'Master Phillies Team Card Set'? It would be Topps and all others who made cards with multiple Phillies members on the front regardless of what is on the reverse, thinking bigger...maybe anything would be fair game that is not considered a Phillies Player Card? (1982 Fleer #641 Phillies' Finest Card featuring Schmidt, Lonnie Smith and Carlton would be an example) Not a Team Card, but certainly not a player card either and celebrates the Phillies in general. Cards like that could be included.
I would support and fully participate in a set like this as it would be a ton of fun to gather and honor my favorite team and with not just traditional team cards, but all sorts of unique cards of players that were once or always phillies.
I just collect differently than the Registry -- and it seems to me that at least two people (here on this thread) have the 2009/2010 cards, which goes to my point. As for 1951 Topps Teams, I would say that the set composite is specifically "Team Cards made by Topps, featuring a team picture". I don't see why 1951 Topps Teams would not qualify, particularly given that they were distributed alongside the other 1951 Topps cards.
Anywho -- I digress, and I'll continue to collect the way I like, I guess. It's sometimes too easy to be caught up in Registry silliness, and part of the reason that I enjoy having a significant part of my pre-war collection in something other than PSA holders.
