When the Mets were suffering through
another typically bad bullpen season in 2019, they reached out to Tampa Bay for
Wilmer, thus extending their impressive streak of having a "Wilmer
F." play for them to seven straight years, which I believe is the longest
such streak in major-league history.
Pictured here is his card from the 2019 Topps Tampa Bay Rays team set.

This is a list of the
cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the
ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The
cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were
sold for charity prior to my divestiture.
The cards listed in white text are the ones that still
remained until that final deal.
Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something
to display in my office and den. At the
bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing
was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at
this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and
maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.
If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the
collection. m still accepting donations,
should you feel so moved. Contact me by
