When the Mets were suffering through
another typically bad bullpen season in 2019, they reached out to Tampa Bay for
Wilmer, thus extending their impressive streak of having a "Wilmer
F." play for them to seven straight years, which I believe is the longest
such streak in major-league history.
Pictured here is his card from the 2019 Topps Tampa Bay Rays team set.

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
