Phillies set questions
 

For years I have had some Phillies "cards" that are are the same as some of the color photos in the Phillies 1959 and 1960 yearbooks. They have a blank back. It appeared to me someone cut out the photos and mounted them on heavy paper. If you hold them up to the light you can see the ads etc. that are on the back of the photos in the yearbook.

A knew a few others who had some of the similar cards.

Then I picked up the attached. 12 of the cards in an original envelope with the 12 cards inside noted on the outside of the envelope. This tells me these are not a homemade issue and were sold by the team. All of these you can see the ad on the reverse. They measure 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"

So, with that info, I am asking:

Does anyone remember getting these at Connie Mack Stadium or ordering them through the mail?

Do any of you have an envelope and if so are the same 12 names on it as are on mine?

Do you have any of the cards? If so any different than the 12 listed on my envelope? I know other collectors who do have different players than these 12.

If you have any of them if you hold them up to a powerful light ( I even used the light on my cell phone) from both the front and back can you see the ads on the back of the photo?

Any and all info appreciated. If you want me to keep you informed of my findings PLMK and I will glad to share

Thanks,

Fred
