This set of cards was created to commemorate the closing of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, the home of the Philadelphia Phillies from 1971-2003. It is co-branded with long-time team sponsors M.A.B. Paints and Tastykake.

The All-Vet Team was voted for by the fans and includes: Steve Carlton (P); Curt Schilling (P); Tug McGraw (P); Darren Daulton (C); John Kruk (1B); Juan Samuel (2B); Larry Bowa (SS); Mike Schmidt (3B); Greg Luzinski (LF); Garry Maddox (CF); Bobby Abreu (RF); and Dallas Green (Manager).

This sale will include one unopened, still factory-sealed set of the 12 cards, plus one header card. No previous owners. The sealed set has been long-term stored in a plastic storage tub in a climate-controlled, smoke-free house since receiving as an exclusive stadium gate giveaway on September 28, 2003.

The ticket stub is also from the last game at the Vet on 9/28/2003. The ticket was immediately placed in the custom Phillies/Veterans Stadium lanyard on game day and has been stored in it ever since, ensuring a near-perfect ticket with sharp edges and corners, no tears, slight fading of the type, and an embossed ticket cancellation reading “Ticket Used”. No previous owners and likewise stored in a plastic storage tub in a climate-controlled, smoke-free house.

The last picture of the gallery above shows all 12 cards included in the unopened set. The picture is only being included for reference to show the full set of beautiful cards.

To be clear, this purchase does not include the loose singles, but includes: 

• 1 lanyard
• 1 ticket (Sect. 633, Row 1, Seat 14)
• 1 sealed set of 12 cards described above
