I NEED THIS http://www.topps.com/collectibles/archi ... ies-1.html

There aren't any cards in the box. [youtube:3vpk5m64]za_2OOBrvYk[/youtube:3vpk5m64] I could go for a 1986 style Tim Corcoran ('86er Toppless as a Met). These other 1986 Mets are on Topps cards as a Met, but not in the 1986 set (Barry Lyons, Ed Hearn, Stan Jefferson, Rick Anderson, John Gibbons & John Mitchell).

I have very few baseball cards left from my youth. The Topps '86 Mets team set is one I still have in a plastic box in the basement somewhere.

Are there any actual cards in that box?

I don't get the cap. Was that phrase ever connected to the '86 team?

Probably original merchandise from the eighties that never caught on and is still laying around in the warehouse.

Poor video, but you'll get the idea ... [youtube:ukmpjbt0]Pc3cGTU3C0s[/youtube:ukmpjbt0] Can't believe they ask $100 for all that ... looks kinda cheesy to me.

Please contribute to my kickstarter to create a shot-for-shot remake of that video. Thanks you.

I have the unopened album somewhere around here to contribute for audio.

Maybe re-record the song too.

I can help with that...let's do it!

If anyone's interested in this minutiae, as Mets, Stan Jefferson and John Gibbons are Toppless, but not cardless. Corcoran, OTOH, is cardless as a Met.

More stuff about the 1986 Topps Mets. The fringiest '86 Mets pitcher to appear in the '86 Topps set was Ed Lynch, who pitched 1.2 innings for the '86 Mets, before succumbing to an injury and then, a trade to the Cubs. The fringiest '86 Mets non-pitcher to appear in the '86 Topps set was Danny Heep (227 PA's - not exactly fringy). The other Topps MIA's among the '86 Mets --in addition to already noted Tim Corcoran, Barry Lyons, Ed Hearn, Stan Jefferson, Rick Anderson, John Gibbons & John Mitchell -- are Kevin Elster, Dave Magadan and Randy Myers, who all made their MLB debuts in '86, and surprisingly, late-season acquisition Lee Mazzilli, who, you'da figured, still had enough name in the game to merit inclusion in the Traded set 1986 Mets in Traded set: [fimg=433]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMTUz/z/1VQAAOxywh1TFh0-/$_57.JPG[/fimg]

I actually love Let's Go Mets Go, enough that it's on my iPod's running mix (don't judge me!). But that hat is simply fugly - I can't imagine anyone wearing it.

Who's today's equivalent of Joe Piscopo? We need someone not funny but really popular. Pat Keirnan of NY1, maybe?

We need someone not funny but really popular. Jon Stewart? /ducks

Bill Mahar would probably get a kick out of it. Actually he's the ideal guy to fund the whole thing.
