Lindsey Nelson
Lindsey Nelson
Born: May 25, 1919
Died: June 10, 1995
Lindsey was a Hall of Fame broadcaster who
was as famous for his football broadcasting career as he was for his Mets
tenure. And he was as well-known for his flamboyant taste in jackets as he was
for his talent! I made a trip to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown during the
summer of 2001, and was delighted to find that one of Lindsey's sportcoats was on display in the Broadcast Wing of the
Hall. This is his card from the 1989 Susan Rini Postcard set. Another oddball piece appears 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.
