Don was a Met coach in 1964 and 1965 before going on to manage the Reds in 1966. Although the card pictured here (1966 Topps) depicts him as the manager of the Reds, he is still shown in his Mets blue, with the logo airbrushed out. Below the stats box appear three of the oldest cards that were in my collection: 1939 and 1940 Play Ball, and 1941 Goudey.

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.
