Non-Jeffshops, of course. Anything that involves an image that you're not sure where to post can go here as well as photoshops, Met tributes, funny stuff (pictures to caption would be nice), and whatever else you feel would fit here. It does not have to be about the Mets if its worth seeing and sharing. Try to keep it baseball though.

My first one is a tribute to The Whitestone Wonders classic no hit saving catch.

No idea when I made this one. Not recently, I know that. I might have posted this already but I don't recall (you guys already know I have a brain like a sieve). When Wright makes a play with his tongue out, I'm always worried about this happening.

Thank you Zvon :)

This is a crazy busy week, but perhaps when things calm down I'll come up with something worthy enough!

Zvon's "The Catch" posters are so good that a smart, well-run, fan-oriented, team would make it a giveaway item. Which means that we are the only ones who will be lucky enough to see them.

I'm gonna break my own rule and the boards rule, because these next ones are not baseball. But I have to share these. I ran into these surfing Tumbler. Not even sure who made them. But really great comic spoof stuff:

That photo was on the back cover of the Daily News this morning, but with all of the text, I didn't notice that the ball was included in the photo.

The "clean" version that you posted is much better. It's a great photo, and a horrible one, at the same time.

I happened to see this on the Internet, and I'm quite impressed. If only they had known not to use an action shot for a 1972 card.

That's an actual Topps card (2013 mini - '72 style), and not a DIY. Maybe you shouldn't be impressed.

So Topps themselves forgot they weren't action shots? Sloppy/lazy/shitty of them. The first time I saw an "IN ACTION" card I screamed AWESOME!!!!. And it was even more awesome to me that they chose to use many odd pictures.

Like Seaver. So many action photos to choose from and they go with having a belly laugh on the mound.


Grimm, you're the master of the '72 re-makes and that's just the way it is.

The Seaver In Action shot isn't even from a real game. Check out the roped in outfield and Seaver's comically oversized glove. That's from Family Day: The Mets vs. the Mets' own kids. Tom probably just struck out a four-year old.

Any idea what year? That looks like Al Weis, Yogi and Cal Koonce with Mr Met. We got Weis from the White Sox with Agee in late '67 for the '68 season. That has to be taken between 1968 and June 1970. I thought they ran the scarier looking Mr Met out of town years earlier.

The Bike-riding Mr. Met shot is a still from the Mets 1963 highlight film. The building in the background is the Bronx County Supreme Courthouse, two blocks from Yankee Stadium.

Threw one of these up on FB because someone has to teach those young whippersnappers Met history (a lot of people knew who Karl was tho, of course). Our owners don't give a shit so we have to take it to the streets.

Someone recently mentioned my name and Karls in the same sentence. Lemme tell you, I was honored. I aspire to be a great fan like him, as should we all.

Never forget Karl! Pass these around if you wish.

It's always intrigued me that there was another New York Mets. Or maybe it was the same Mets, returning after seventy-five years in the wilderness. Forget those West Coast emigres, or those upstart Baltimoreans in the Bronx; this is the real New York baseball club. Were there any of their old fans at the Polo Grounds in 1962? I'm sure there were, just as I'm sure there are Mets fans today who remember Bill Terry and Burleigh Grimes.

I'm working on this one. I need pictures of Harveys follow through from that view to complete the progression.
I've really searched the web for images. Eventually I'll get pics of the tail end of his windup.

Using the new CorelDraw6 for much of this project. I'm likin it.

OE: Pulling this- I found some images to add.

oh damn,lol. Did they really have opposite ones for righties? I never noticed. And I gave that a lot of thought too, the details. I was going to use a '67 border and then I thought Ben will never stand for that cause Topps didn't use action shots then. So my best efforts are.....okay, gimme a min.....corrected. I hope the circle part is still blue.
