Onwards to what I dubbed as the "HOF Pack." Before we dive in, I'd like to remind everyone that these posts were made possible by Wicked Ortega, The Cardboard Don.
As always, we'll start off with the two cards the bookended each pack in toploaders...
Just so we're clear, this is not why I dubbed this the HOF pack. I've been hoping the Mets would trade this guy for the past few years now, while he still has/had some amount of value. If nothing else, getting rid of him would save the team a few thousand dollars a year in Ace bandages alone.
Really nice looking card. I have an idea for a small side collection that I want to do in the very near future, and this will knock off a piece of the checklist once that's underway.
Now we get into why this is the HOF Pack! Glavine isn't in the Hall yet, but it's only a matter of when. I have the Piazza version of this card as well, and while these aren't numbered, there's an announced print run of 75 sets. Sooo yeah, it's unnumbered to 75 I guess.
Another future HOF, it's a shame he kindda faded the way he did (and by that I mean resorting to pitching for the Phillies). It was still a buttload of fun to watch him pitch for the Mets though.
Now for a guy who's already in the HOF. Seaver is actually the only player wearing a Mets hat in the Hall of Fame. If nothing else now, you can walk away from this saying that you learned something. Unless you already knew that, innnn which case...I dunno. Go buy a Snapple or something.
And lastly, a few David Wrights. C'mon, if you didn't see this coming then you must be a new reader. Of course I'm including some David Wright cards in the HOF Pack post!!!!

I'm still wincing over the bacon comment.
