Team Set: New York Mets

Thanks to eBay I was able to pick up a few of the 14 card 2008 Topps team sets. The lot I won included a New York Mets set.

# 3 - Jeff Suppan - Opening Day

Not only did Jeff Suppan sign his regular 2008 Topps card for us back in July, he also signed his card from the Opening Day set.

# 55 - Whitey Ford - Team Gift Set

Last December I picked up the New York Yankees 55 card Gift Set which included a card of Yankee Stadium. I wasn't sure who to send this one to at first but soon decided on Yankee legend and Hall of Famer, Whitey Ford.

This stadium card will go great with the stadium cards we already have signed by Duke Snider and Bobby Doerr. Whitey was one of the best pitchers of his era and I definitely appreciate him signing this card for our collection.

# PHI6 - Jamie Moyer - Team Set

Back on June 2, 2009, Jamie Moyer signed his regular 08 Topps cards for our set. You may remember this post.

We recently sent Jamie another TTM request and this time he graciously signed his card from the Phillies 14 card team set. Yes, it looks identical to his regular card but it's numbered differently on the back.

These team set cards don't count for our set but I'm always happy to add anything 08 Topps related to our collection.

# AS-RL - Ryan Ludwick - Relic Card

In my quest to collect anything 08 Topps-related I finally broke down and bought on of the All-Star jersey cards from the Updates & Highlights set.

Got a good deal on a nice Ryan Ludwick card. Yep this only cost us one dollar.

# 463 - John McLaren

Former Seattle Mariners manager, John McLaren signed a card for our set. John is currently the bench coach for the Washington Nationals. While doing a little research on his Wikipedia page, I realized John is now the bench coach under manager Jim Riggleman and Riggleman was McLaren's bench coach in Seattle.

# 311 - Jeremy Guthrie

Former first round draft pick and current Baltimore Orioles ace, Jeremy Guthrie signed a card for our set. He even personalized it to my son. Awesome!
