5-Year Collection of Mets baseball cards
Many youngsters begin collecting baseball cards at an early age, because it’s a little like having someone’s autograph – you actually have a small piece of your hero right in your hands. I remember that as a young New York Yankees fan, my most prized possession in the world was my baseball card of Mickey Mantle. I had hundreds of others of course, but Mantle was bigger-than-life, and he was my hero for a very long time.
The sports nut in your life may feel exactly the same way about baseballs cards they had at a young age – maybe Mike Piazza, Gary Carter, or Keith Hernandez. This 125-card collection spans the years from 2015 through 2019. That means you get the complete set from 2015, when the Mets won the National League pennant, and you’ll get the complete set from 2019, when Pete Alonso was called up to join the big team.
Framed commemorative of 1969 World Series win
