Not a terrible player … but Mets fans had
visions of Vladimir Guerrero dancing in their heads. Still, an upgrade over the
other anticipated right fielders for 2004, at least until Richard Hidalgo came
along. Pictured here is a 1996 Pacific Prisms card which has been autographed
by Karim. There are about a dozen more
cards below, including several minor-leagues cards from Karim's up-and-down
career. He's also the only player in
Mets history (that I know of, anyway) to have cards showing him with both the Buffalo
Bisons and the Orix Buffaloes; see evidence below.

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. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by
following this link: NYMHall.
