New contributor and long time Mets fan. Also been taping and collecting old Mets games for decades. I have a ton of regular season games from the mid 80's till the late 2000's. Any other fans have the same hobby? I love to find fellow Mets fans to compare collections.

What's the prize of your collection?

Cant say i have one prize.

I have every opener from 1985-current times (minus 1990).

Every season finale from 1984-2019 (minus 1992, 1993, 1996 and 2001)

Give or take about 200 Gooden starts

Almost 100 games from 1986, and generally at least 40-50 games from other seasons.

Re: Old games

Are any of the games sharable?



I'd love to see this game, for sentimental reasons:

No.

Your thread title merely triggered a memory of the Chicago tune 'Old Days' (from 'Chicago II' I believe ... one I haven't heard in years) which prompted a

quickie re-writing of the opening stanza's lyrics to semi-match your little hobby there.

Haha, no problem.

Larry Bowa's last hits against the Mets, ending a long and illustrious 17-year legacy as a Mets division opponent, before he joined the team about 10 days later and did perhaps more damage in a Mets uniform than he ever did against them.
