"One of the great moments in the history of baseball!"  That's what announcer Gary Cohen shouted when he called the event depicted on this card: Bartolo's first big-league home run, at age 42.  Two-time 20-game winner and former Cy Young award honoree, Bartolo came to the Mets in the winter following the 2013 season after winning 18 for the A’s that year.  During his first season with the Mets, Bart notched his 200th career victory. Even more impressively, he became a huge fan favorite during his tenure at Citi Field.  He’s shown here on 2016 Topps Update, and on many more cards 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.
