NY Mets Binder 2000's Cont.

The Can Stash!

I was sitting back ,enjoying this polar vortex the planet Is currently experiencing and It got me thinking....."Towards the latter part of his career ,Jose Canseco's  bat   was just as cold!"But I'll spare you the misery of seeing J.C. In a White Sox uni (for now) and post the second half of my "Canseco as a Ranger" post. He wasn't horrible with Texas except for 93 where he only played half of a season.

Speaking of polar vortexes.

 It wasn't until I scanned these that I noticed the stain on the back of the Hostess card.Was this common?I'm thinking It was a result of  whatever cake It was wrapped up with secreting sugary deliciousness all over the card.Who knows?

NY Mets Binder 90's - 2000's

As you can see there are still  many cards missing from this Mets binder.I still don't have any Mo Vaughn  cards In a mets uni so I just threw his rookies In there.I definitely have to pick up some more Alomars ,too.Also on my "need to add "  list are generation K's Paul Wilson,Jason Isringhausen and Bill Pulsipher .

My Mets Binder 80's

     The following are the contents of my  Mets binder featuring   prominent players from each decade , starting with 1986!                                                    

        I'd like to add more   Hernandez,Carter, Gooden and Strawberry cards at some point. For now ,this is all I have.There may be a couple of 90's cards of players who's careers with the Mets spanned the 80's and 90's.I included rookie cards of some players ,even If  they started their careers with a different team.Enjoy!    

The Can Stash!

It's been a while since I've posted about baseball cards here at the pub and not owning a scanner had a lot to do with that. Taking pictures of baseball cards with a Finepix camera  is a huge pain In the ass,largely because of lighting.Messing around with the flash function and finding the right light to snap pics of cards without getting any weird glare or  odd shadows was becoming too tedious. I've finally picked up a scanner so expect more baseball card posts and an uptick In content.This week I'll be posting the rest of my small Canseco collection as well as any new cards as I acquire them.
