Set Type: Primary
Card dimensions: 2½” x 3½”
Additional Information: Like all other TCMA issues throughout the ’70s and ’80s, this set was available only via direct mail order through the TCMA catalog, a baseball card magazine named Collectors Quarterly. Although this set recycles the design of the 1953 Bowman set and features MLB players from the ’50s, a significant number of the Phillies in the set are shown in the ’48-’49 uniforms. Beckett’s Online Guide refers to the set simply as “1979 TCMA 50’s.”
