The story on this card
The 1962 team card looks back at a 1961 the Phillies would rather forget: 47-107, last in the National League, 46 games behind the pennant-winning Reds in Gene Mauch's second season. From July 29 to August 20 they lost 23 in a row, the most in the majors since 1900; John Buzhardt won the game before it started and the game that ended it. Art Mahaffey (11-19, 158 strikeouts) was the only man to reach double-digit wins, Don Demeter hit a team-high 20 homers after arriving in a May trade, and Hall of Famer Robin Roberts went 1-10 across 18 starts in his final Phillies season. Only 590,039 came through Connie Mack Stadium. Card #294 belongs to Topps' fourth series.

Slabs of the three cards printed #139 are joined by description, never by number alone. PSA registers the green tints as a separate set; a tint's population is listed under that state of the card it belongs to.
