Hubie was a relatively light-hitting third baseman when the suggestion was made that he move to shortstop, where he was a significantly stronger hitter than the average middle infielder of that era. That move probably helped to pave the way for the super shortstops of the '90s, although perhaps that fellow in Baltimore had a little bit more to do with it. Pictured here is Hubie's 1985 O-Pee-Chee card. A couple of oddball issues from his Expos days are among those pictured 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
