Tug McGraw Autographed 1981 Topps #40 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Add a terrific card from the immediate aftermath of the Philadelphia Phillies first World Series championship with this 1981 Topps #40 Tug McGraw card, personally autographed by one of the most beloved relief pitchers in franchise history. McGraw is correctly featured as card #40 with the Philadelphia Phillies in the 726-card 1981 Topps set.

The 1981 Topps design is one of the most recognizable of the decade, featuring a colorful baseball cap-shaped team logo in the upper corner along with the player's name and position across the bottom. The set was issued as a single 726-card series and includes an extensive group of Phillies fresh off their championship season.

McGraw's #40 is particularly appealing because the card was issued directly following his unforgettable 1980 season. During the regular season, McGraw was outstanding out of the Philadelphia bullpen, posting a 1.46 ERA with 20 saves in 57 appearances and 92.1 innings.

He was even more important during Philadelphia's championship run. McGraw appeared in nine games during the 1980 postseason, recording four saves and striking out 15 batters in 15 innings. In the World Series against Kansas City, he earned the victory in Game 5 and returned to record the save in Game 6, securing the first World Series championship in Phillies franchise history.

The 1981 Topps set actually gives McGraw collectors a second card commemorating that accomplishment. In addition to his regular #40, McGraw appears on #404, a special World Series card celebrating Philadelphia's championship. Together, the two make an excellent autographed pairing from one of the most important moments in Phillies history.
