Default Card that was anf then was not

This is my favorite, compliments of Bob Lemke, because this card ( Topps 1958 # 145) does show up on the actual checklist on card 44 ( Senators team card), but then is gone on card 134 ( Phillies team card) of the 1958 set. It was pulled after the player got into some legal difficulties. No known examples of an original are known

This ran on my blog late last year . . .

I've updated my 1958 Ed Bouchee custom

Nearly two years ago I created a custom 1958 Topps-style card of Ed Bouchee, filling a gap that Topps had created when it checklisted, but never printed a 1958 card for the Phillies first baseman.

While I was basically satisfied with my creation, I was always somewhat dissatisfied with having had to use the photo from the 1960 Topps Bouchee card.

Some months ago I found a great team-issued posed portrait photo of Bouchee and decided to have another go at a 1958.

While I could have simply replaced the player picture on my black-background earlier card, I decided to explore options.

In the 1958, Topps used five different background colors on its Phillies cards: light blue, blue, black, orange and yellow. I chose yellow for my new Bouchee.

While looking over original 1958 Phillies cards I noticed for the first time that Topps used four different versions of the team name, apparently depending on the length of the position designation that shares the bottom color bar. The team can be found as PHILA. PHILS., PHILA. PHILLIES, PHILADELPHIA PHILS., or PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES.

This should conclude my efforts at adding Ed Bouchee to the 1958 Topps issue.
