1965 Phillies Tiles

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

I was just lucky enough to pick up 9 of the 12 of this super rare issue! 1965 Phillies Tiles.

I have been working on this set for years. They are listed in some of the old SCD Standard catalogs.

The 9 shown in the photo are new HOFer Rich Allen, Belinsky, Callison, Covington, Dalrymple, Mauch, Short, Taylor and Wine

Missing from the set are HOFer Jim Bunning, Cookie Rojas and Dick Stuart

I now have some extras and am wondering if anyone here has any of the tiles. If so, Let's see 'em!

Yep! They can crack and chip easily. Never could find out who issued these. Or WHY on tiles??

But this group came with a cork back and a hanger. I have some without the cork too.

I guess they could be used as a trivet too
