Donn was the Most Valuable Player of the
1969 World Series for the Mets, and it's possible that they would not have made
it to the big dance at all if it hadn't been for his addition midway through
that year. The next season, he set the Mets' all-time record for RBI in a
season (up to that point) with 97 in only 396 at-bats. He's pictured here on
1970 Topps, and below on a couple of cards that teamed him up with Hall of
Famer Willie Stargell, as well as a Topps Super and a couple of Topps coins.

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.
