Called up from Binghamton in August 2005 when Mike Piazza broke a bone in his wrist, Jacobs—an outstanding minor-league hitter—smashed a three-run homer in his first major-league at-bat. Because of that home run, his expected return to the minor leagues was delayed, and he went on to break records for home-run proficiency for both the Mets and all-time baseball history: No one ever reached four career home runs in fewer at-bats than Mike. Came back in 2010 just long enough to hit his 100th career home run. Pictured here is his card in the 2001 Topps Gallery set; several more cards appear 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.
