Charlie Manuel Autographed 2012 Topps Heritage #318 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Add a terrific card of one of the most successful managers in Philadelphia Phillies history with this 2012 Topps Heritage #318 Charlie Manuel card, personally autographed by the manager who guided Philadelphia to the 2008 World Series championship. Manuel is correctly cataloged as card #318 with the Philadelphia Phillies.

The 2012 Topps Heritage set pays tribute to the classic 1963 Topps Baseball design, continuing the Heritage tradition of pairing contemporary players, managers and teams with one of Topps' vintage designs. Manuel's card is specifically designated as a manager card, giving Phillies collectors a modern Heritage issue devoted entirely to the skipper.

This card comes from the latter portion of an outstanding managerial run in Philadelphia. Manuel took over the Phillies in 2005 and helped transform the club into one of baseball's dominant teams. Under his leadership, Philadelphia won five consecutive National League East titles from 2007 through 2011, captured back-to-back National League pennants in 2008 and 2009, and defeated Tampa Bay to win the 2008 World Series.

The 2012 Heritage issue is particularly attractive for an autograph because the vintage-inspired design provides a distinctive alternative to Manuel's standard contemporary cards. It also makes a great companion to his other Topps Heritage manager issues and the multi-player Heritage cards featuring Manuel alongside members of Philadelphia's championship-era core.
