2018 Clubhouse: Philadelphia Phillies

101. Aaron Altherr

102. César Hernández

103. Odúbal Herrera

104. Rhys Hoskins (RC)

105. Aaron Nola

Swapping out Altherr for Jake Arrieta would probably be the easiest thing to shore up the checklist here. Carlos Santana probably deserves inclusion over César Hernández as well.

Hoskins is by far the best auto for the Phillies. Throwing Altherr in there with him is definitely an alpha/omega situation.

His purple parallel still looks pretty good, though.

HW4. Ben Zobrist -Hardware

Wow, that's a lot of pitchers to start out a pack. New insert design here springs from the “Hardware.” moment from last postseason’s TV coverage. With a good image of Zobrist and the WSMVP trophy, seemed like a no-brainer. Presumably, the rest of the set would feature the other award winner handling their trophies. Since those shots are probably less exciting, I tried to give it an etched metal look. In person, these would probably be chrome-ish, hence the slight rainbow coloring.
