Ugh. This is going to be close. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the managers, Opening Day starting pitchers, catchers, first basemen, second basemen,shortstops, third basemen and left fielders, as well as all of the Mets’ All-Star representatives.

What more do you say at this point? I guess we all just need to stop sitting around and waiting for the Rangers to beat the snot out of the Giants, “just like we all said they would”. I really do think, however, that the rest of the series will not be played the way […]

Last week was a pretty good week for me trade-wise. I got three trade offers that ended up doing some pretty fierce damage to various wantlists of mine. Todays episode comes to us from reader Robert, who wasn’t ashamed to admit to being a fellow Mets fan. Rob sent me a box of Mets cards […]

When I declared 2010 to be “The Year of Vintage”, apparently, I wasn’t kidding. Here’s a smorgasbord of manager and coaches cards that I picked up. The more my vintage collection grows, it’s fun to notice that a lot of those guys I actually have cards from their playing days. I know I have Galen […]

Since Topps is apparently taking its sweet-ass time activating the Million Card Giveaway, I thought I’d showcase some old cards that I got recently from Sportlots. Dollars to donuts they’re probably much cooler than anything I’m going to get from that giveaway anyways. I ended up with 39 cards for around $20 with shipping. Not […]

Before I get into this, I just want to touch on two points. First, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I live in New Jersey and work in Manhattan, which means I have about an hour and 15 minute commute by train/subway in the morning. Normally, this time is very relaxing for […]

I ended up scoring a gaggle of ’71 Topps Mets off of eBay. I’m going to break these into 2 posts, though, since I didn’t have the time or inclination to scan them all at once. I’m not sure what the consensus is on the 1971 Topps set, but for me, it’s one of those […]
