Richie Hebner

Richard Joseph Hebner
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 197 lbs.
Born: November 26, 1947 in Boston, MA

Played third base in the big leagues for many years, achieving fine success with the Pennsylvania teams, which included eight trips to the post-season! In his only season with the Mets, he led the club in runs batted in. Rich is pictured here on his 1969 Topps Pirates Rookies card along with fellow Pittsburgh star Al Oliver. A baker's dozen more cards are pictured below, including a relatively hard-to-find 1971 ARCO Pirates issue.

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.
