Stage 1: The Gromek I had just finally pushed back from the table and was pretty pleased with myself at the damage I had done. Stage 2: The Noren A while after I had parked it on the couch, probably sometime around the start of the Cowboys game, I began to drift into some sort […]

Just a quickie today. These are a couple of cards I recently snagged from eBay. First up is a Hammerin’ Hank All-Star that has seen better days. At least whoever owned this previously had the respect to not put tape all the way across Henry’s face. The back of this card is a bit more […]

In honor of today being 11/11/11, I thought I’d show 11 guys who have sported number 11 for throughout the years for the Mets. Ed Bouchee was the original #11 for the Metropolitains. He only ended up lasting half the season, though. The remained of 1962, number 11 was worn by this guy. Classic line […]

Today we’ll take a look at a couple of cards that I got to chip away at my manager and team cards collection. 1980 Topps #302 Dodgers / Tommy Lasorda I had never really realized this before, but I’m pretty sure that this is my first Tommy Lasorda card. I find that pretty amazing just […]

These are the remaining Mets that I got in my big June haul. Once again, these were really the meat of the cards and mostly had to do with why I’m considering June such a good month, card-wise. We start of with an O-G Met, and a semi-high number at that. 1962 Topps #497 Ed […]

So the other day I showed off a handful of 1960’s Topps cards that I needed for my set that I got off of Sportlots. Well, that wasn’t all that was in that there envelope. There was also a small pile of other, assorted, banged-up, vintage goodness. Let’s investigate, shall we. 1960 Fleer #33 Wilbert […]

I do believe I might’ve jinxed the Metsies last night by showing all the old Angels cards in yesterdays post. To try and counter that, here’s a basketful of old Mets cards, none of which have been on this blog before. Enjoy and Let’s Go Mess Mets.

Tonight begins another round of the always exciting inter-league play. The Mats are facing off against the Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem, California. Maybe not the most exciting matchup, but I guess it’ll at least be cool to watch players who I never get to watch. I always like Torii Hunter. I think a lot […]
