1965 Topps - 3rd Series Phillies Alumni

It took us a while, but we finally finished off the third series of the 1965 Topps set we've been collecting since late 2019.  I'm getting closer to completely wrapping up the set, and the blog celebrating every card in the set, so I'd expect these series review posts to start to come a little quicker.

Here's a look at the 20 cards in the set's third series featuring a former Phillies player, coach or manager.  Clicking on the card number underneath each picture will take you to that card's post.

1973 Topps #239

1973 Topps Flashback:  Pete Richert is probably one of the more obscure players covered this year in these flashbacks.  The lefty began his 13-year career with the Dodgers in 1962.  He was traded to the Senators in the deal that sent Frank Howard to Washington in December 1964.  During his time in Washington, Richert was named to two A.L. All-Star teams in 1965 and 1966.

He came back to the Dodgers for the 1972 and 1973 seasons after five seasons in Baltimore.  In December 1973, Richert was traded to the Cardinals but he wasn't there long.  And in late June 1974, he was sold to the Phillies where he wrapped up his career.  In 21 games with the Phils, Richert went 2-1 with an impressive 2.21 ERA.  He was released following the season, having never appeared as a Phillie on a baseball card.
