Now that the games are becoming less...meaningful...what better time to pay tribute to those Amazin' Mets by posting any cool Mets related items you might have in your collection! And I know the Met fans here will not disappoint!

    I like that 1974 Topps Tom Seaver card. Very nice Paul Maul.

    Tim, if you keep this up I might start to think you're actively searching for star packs that also show Mets.....

    Tim, did you specifically request that Grote be cited on the '67 cello? Can one do that with any player?

    Yes, you can. They will add any name to the flip as long as you request it.

    I love that Grote pic, David! Our mothers must have shopped at the same clothes store! LOL!

    Awesome stuff, guys! Doug's been trying to get me into programs and yearbooks~I like the graphics and the old ads.

    Keep them coming!

    Last but not least is this 1986 Mets painted mirror. I'm not really sure what it is but I think it was probably some sort of boardwalk game prize, it's the only one I have ever seen
