“ Love the throwback cards. I know I'm in the minority on that, but I do. I just got my first original 1959 card a month ago. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I wish the throwback sets used the same card stock as the originals, but otherwise the 59 design is nice. ” -suomibear8

“ Design is nice, but the player pic, not so much. Not really a very good scan it seems either. ” -Doc Floyd

“ Cool card except for facsimile auto. ” -carthage44

“ Like the Heritage sets. This is one of the better years for Heritage when they got many things right about using the older design. Some years they really miss it. I prefer the Heritage sets using the thicker real cardboard, where Topps Archives uses modern thin white cardstock. ” -captkirk42

“ I do really enjoy the Heritage Sets, but I wish they would stop with all the colour swap crap. Emulate the original, emulate the original errors, but cut it out with the gum stain/colour change variations. ” -rmpaq5

“ I didn't actually remember him pitching for the Phillies. Good pitcher a few years with the Cardinals. ” -switzr1

That glob on his chin looks like something I would have added to his card when I was a kid. Is that an arrow pointing to his mouth so he knows where the food goes? Edited on: Jun 25, 2016 - 10:23AM

IIRC, there was a Dykstra not too long ago.

Edit: I got the time to go look - Monday, May 2, 2016 - 1991 Topps Dykstra with the Phillies - less than 2 months ago.

Also, Sunday, January 10, 2016 - 2001 Topps Wayne Gomes - Phillies

Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - 2005 UD Sweet Spot Carlos Ruiz

Saturday, December 12, 2015 - 1989 CMC Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons Redfield (Phillies affiliate)

Saturday, November 7, 2015 - 2015 Bowman Chrome - Farm's Finest Mini Aaron Nola

Just to name a few... :) Since it's my team too, I remembered we had quite a few.
