Question for Mets/1962 Topps fans

As most of you know, The Mets started in 1962.
Tell me, is the Ed Bouchee card the only '62 card with someone wearing a Mets jersey?
(And notice the position, 1 Base -- odd in my book.)

It seems to be the only 62 card with a full Mets uniform. Here are the 2 pages of 1962 Topps from the 1987 Mets Surf Detergent book. Al Jackson is the only other with a Mets hat (and covered up jersey). It looks like Frank Thomas is wearing Mets pinstripes. Casey Stengel's pinstripes are probably Yankees since the hat is airbrushed out. Rich Ashburn is probably wearing Phillies pinstripes even though he played for the Cubs in '60 and '61 (unless they wore pinstripes?). I think the "1 Base" is pretty interesting too. Gil Hodges just shows "1B" but Charley Neal shows "2 Base".
