A power-hitting, Gold-Glove outfielder in Japan, Shinjo came to America in 2001 to see what he could do against big league pitching. The first season that he spent with the Mets, he was fairly successful, but after his sabbatical in San Francisco, he struggled when he tried to break into the New York outfield again. The card pictured here is from the 1995 Japanese BBM set. Five more Japanese cards are among those pictured 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
