Twenty guys and a manager? They had bigger rosters than that, right?
|

Yeah, its definitely missing some guys but still - a nice piece.

It really bugs me that so many of these guys on the 1962 cards are pictured without their caps.

Seems to me a few have unMetly uniform tops also.

Not a lot of opportunities to take pictures of guys in Met uniforms and hats in 1961 I'm guessing.

My brother put something very similar together (albeit not professionally done) of the '69 team including cards from each of the playoff games. It hung in our living room until a storm in '76 knocked a tree limb on our roof and caused rain to run down the inside of our walls. Ruined the whole damn thing.

The Topps first series (it was sold in series those days) was out around spring training. No chance to get a picture in a Mets uniform. Later series could get the players in uniform.

Topps did a ton of airbrushing back in the day; they weren't shy about airbrushing out a logo on a hat. I guess it was easier (and cheaper?) than getting a new photo.
|
| RealityChuck Oct 25 2006 04:25 PM |

Both. Topps sent their photographers out once a year. They'd take two photos: one with the hat, and one without. If the player was traded, then he'd be hatless on the card and they wouldn't need to airbrush. Also, in the 50s, they wouldn't photograph (or even sign) all players. This ended when a Dodgers official told them that Maury Wills would never make the team. Once Wills made the team, he refused to sign with Topps, so there was no baseball card of him until 1967, when he was traded to the Pirates. From then on, Topps would sign up all players to an exclusive contract. This also effectively prevented others from selling baseball cards (they were allowed for some uses, but not with gum) until a court case ruled Topps contract illegal; players could sign nonexclusive contracts from then on and the mult-manufacturer boom had begun.

Is there a story as to why there wasn't a 1972 Rusty Staub?

In bad taste?

Special place in Hell for that salesman. You really gotta wonder if a huckster like that has ANY scruples, or just an editing valuve that would say "Gee, maybe I shouldn't emphasize the fact that a player who JUST died signed this ball." Big difference between say a Lidle Yankee ball and say a 1998 Randy Johnson Houston Astros team signed ball so don't even think of coming from that particular angle! There is a time where maybe, MAYBE you can use a "one of the last team balls Player X was a part of before his untimely death" come-on (i.e. a 1972 Pirate ball featuring Clemente) but not in the same month that the guy dies!

Lidle was no Clemente, heck he wasn't even Daryl Kyle... his autograph will never have near the value that it does this month again imo.
|
| SteveJRogers Oct 28 2006 12:11 PM |
|
|
Yup. I didn't mean to compare him to a future HOFer I was just going with the first name to pop in my head. Kyle is a more apt comparision, but even then you're right, the Lidle situation pales in comparision, but sadly is more apt for jerk-wads like this particular huckter to be shamless in his exploitaion. Probably because of his brief MFY-ness

I got a ring tone of Gary calling a Piazza homer against the Braves. Not sure what game it is.

For what it's worth, Michael Tucker doesn't have his own card, but he is Metly on this 2006 Topps Update card:
|
| SteveJRogers Dec 04 2006 05:42 PM |
|
|
Yeah I guess I COULD use it... Though I'm hoping someone will pick up the ball from The Wiz and do the next chapters in the Mega Mets Card set from 1991! If Tucker is a Met next year I'd imagine he'd get a card, ditto with Feliciano in the 2007 UD and Topps sets. And I'd imagine Royce Ring is now destined to be in the ranks of never being on a true Metly card (cards featuring him as a Tide or whatever do not count!
