“ 100% awesome pink action! ” -fuzthepoet

“ Like the back of this card with the classic Topps look to it. The back, though? Ehhhhh, not so much. ” -Theron_Nett

“ Cool - on a day where a 1950s Phillies card (that I actually have) is RCOTD, this one (another 1950s Phillies card I have) opens for comments. Not enough for a RCOTD Coincidence, but pretty interesting for me as I usually do not own the RCOTD. 1959 Topps has an iconic design. Much like they did again in 1971, they decided to skip capital letters in the players' names. The backs are ideal. ” -vrooomed

“ 59 was a great year for Topps! ” -tinyshogun

“ 50s Phillies card on the front page...50s Phillies card up for comments. Ahh the symmetry! ” -rmpaq5

“ Another classic card! Great stuff. ” -cjjt

“ Love this Topps Design If I recall it was first used for 1958 Football. Thanks to Topps Heritage and more so Archives this vintage design has now been over used as has everyother Topps designs from the 20th Century. ” -captkirk42

“ This is a nice card. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Vintage Phillies card opened for comments on the same day that a vintage Phillies card is the actual RCOTD. ” -jdogg1228

Well, his card was pulled in 1958 so it is interesting to see his 1959 Topps Card as the RCOTD... ------------------------------- Good cards, good person, GREAT intentions... Thanks for not being the bad apple on the forums.... I enjoy helping set builders so Message me anytime!

EDIT: Like the back of this card with the classic Topps look to it. The FRONT, though? Ehhhhh, not so much. I gotta pay more attention when submitting my comments..... I think the pink from the front blinded me. Also, happy Thanksgiving! Edited on: Nov 23, 2023 - 6:21AM

I was disappointed that none of the comments mention any relation to Bobby Boucher. I guess at some point they changed the spelling of their last name. ------------------------------- Minor League Collector, Collecting cards featuring players in Cedar Rapids uniforms or Logos, all sports, from past and present.

I like the design but not so much the pink. I would rather have the Phillies red be the color used. He had a great year in 1955 at Schenectady. ------------------------------- ~ JC
