Welcome! An Introduction to "Mets on Cards"


Thanks for stopping by!  This is a site dedicated to two of my favorite things: baseball cards and the New York Mets.  A marriage made in heaven, if you ask me.

Here, you'll find samples from my collection of 13,000+ unique Mets cards.  All the major brands from past to current day will be represented.  Of course, you'll see all the familiar and expected stars -- think Seaver, Gooden, Piazza and Wright -- but also those lesser known and perhaps underappreciated players who account for a big swatch of the tapestry that is the history of the New York Mets.  On this page, it doesn't matter if you're Keith Hernandez or Anderson Hernandez, you'll get your time in the sun eventually.

So, whether you're a Mets fan, a baseball junkie or just someone who appreciates the card collecting hobby, I hope you enjoy your visit.  Feedback and suggestions are always welcomed!

Sincerely,
M. Kaz
