Phillies Oddballs - 1983 Topps Fold-Outs
The set is comprised of five, 17 photo card subsets - with each subset representing active leaders in one of the following categories: batting leaders, home run leaders, stolen base leaders, career wins and relief aces. In some cases, players like Joe Morgan were leaders in multiple categories and appeared in a few different subsets (Morgan was in both home run and stolen bases leaders). It was officially a "test" product release, but scrolling through eBay listings there seem to be a lot of complete folders up for bid - at a reasonable price (I bought one for $8).
In 1983 the Phillies roster was stocked full of pedigreed veterans, including Morgan, Tony Perez, Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton to name a few - and thus were well represented in the 85-card set. It is a strange design with the player photos on one double-sided, continuous strip. They are frequently sold after being cut into individual cards, which can make for some strange display issues - for example, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez are back-to-back on the HR Leaders set.
