 Here's a statistic you didn't know: Of all pitchers in Mets history who have pitched at least 25 innings with New York, Carlos has the absolute lowest career ERA, a sparkling 1.97.  [At least that was true when this page was first written, quite a few years ago now.  His record was demolished by Aaron Loup's amazing 2021 season—his only one for the Mets, in which he allowed an ERA of a paltry 0.95.]  But this page is about Carlos.  He's pictured here on 1986 Topps; other cards are displayed 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.
