We're in the primordial ooze of Metsdom here, friends. This is Mr. Met congealing in a sluice of amino acids and evolving proteins.
OK, OK, I know it says “Chicago Cubs” plain as day. But check the footnote:
“Drafted by the New York Mets, Oct. 10, 1961”
The franchise at its inception made a habit of drafting broken Brooklyn Dodgers like Zim in an effort to cater to an abandoned NL fan base.
The Mets were designed to be a second coming.
And in this card, snipped from the back of a box of Post Toasties, we see the shadow of a rough beast slouching towards the Polo Grounds to be born...
Is this card for sale?
ReplyDeleteI had not thought about selling the card, but feel free to shoot me an offer via e-mail (see profile for contact info).
ReplyDeleteI'd be open to trades as well-- generally interested in pre-1973 graded Mets and graded pre-war Dodgers.
