1961 Topps Phillies Team Set Chase Part 2

Here are more cards I have acquired to collect the 1961 Topps Phillies team set rather than going for 2010 Heritage. First and second impressions: they were not a good team.

Jim Woods: # of years on Phillies-2 (1960-1961), Best Season as a Phillie (1961): .229/.296/.417 (89 OPS+) with 2 HR and 9 RBI
Joe Koppe: # of years on Phillies-2+ (1959-1961), Best Season as a Phillie (1959): .261/.327/.386 (89 OPS+) with 7 HR, 7 3B, 68 R and 28 RBI.
Jack Meyer: # of years on Phillies-7 (1955-1961), Best Season as a Phillie (1955): 6-11 with 3.43 ERA, led the league with 16 saves, 97 K in 110 IP.
Lee Walls: # of years on Phillies-2 (1960-1961), Best Season as a Phillie (1961): .280/.329/.425 (100 OPS+) with 8 HR and 30 RBI
Jim Coker: # of years on Phillies-4 (1958-1962), Best Season as a Phillie (1960): .214/.289/.329 (69 OPS+) with 6 HR and 34 RBI
Bobby Del Greco: # of years on Phillies-3 (1960-1961, 1965), Best Season as a Phillie (1960): .237/.355/.417 (111 OPS+) with 10 HR, 26 RBI, and 54 BB.
Phillie Team Card: I like the design element of the solid color background.


More to come as the chase emboldens the seeker.

I'm getting closer to a '61 team set too. Just need to track down the high numbers at a reasonable price.
