Ron led the Mets in home runs as a rookie
in 1965, and then permanently etched his name into New York history with his
famous diving and rolling catch in the '69 World Series. His well-known grin is
shown here on a 1971 MLB Official Stamp. Three rare items are among the pieces
shown below; a 1968 Topps Action All-Star Sticker panel, a 1969 Citgo coin, and
a card cut from a 1969 Transogram box.

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 am
still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
