He looked like a Hall of Famer for awhile in the late '70s. He didn't make it to Cooperstown,
but he still put together a very solid career, and was the most feared hitter
in the National League for several years. There was much excitement surrounding
his arrival in New York, but sadly, his career was already in the midst of a
steady decline. George is pictured here on a 1993 Ted Williams POGS card. More
George Foster cards are 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’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved.
