Mets TTM cards?
Wasn't quite sure which forum to post this, but think I can probably get my answer on this side. I picked these up a bit ago - really liked the content of the cards - the autographs (all signed by Bud or Buchek) are pretty common. These are about 3 X 4.5, and it seems like they were intended to be sent to folks through the mail, perhaps? The Mr. Met signing autographs illustration was also used on the set of Mr. Met decals from the mid to late 60s. Any Mets fans out there have any information on these?

Thanks, Scott! Certainly seems like they were created for mail requests, and a Seaver version of one of them would support that. Based on Buchek's time with the Mets, I am guessing maybe 1967/1968 time frame? Having kept my eye out for Mets items since I was a kid, I find it odd that I hadn't seen any of these before - seems like the type of things kids would have kept from their childhood.

Just picked up a couple more - looks like these may have been issued over at least a three year span, based on the players and the three different card styles. I think I like the Mr. Met style the best, but the two different shots of Shea are cool as well.

 Interestingly, the real Mr. Met actually does sign autographs, and you might find it amazing to learn that they're actually legible! (See photo below.)  (Photo taken September 22, 2009. © Gary Dunaier. Link to upload on Flickr.com: here.)
