Eric Valent
Eric Christian Valent
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 191 lbs.
Born: April 4, 1977 in LaMirada, CA
Drafted: 1st round 1998 by the Philadelphia Phillies
Acquired: selected from the Cincinnati Reds in the Minor League Draft, December
2003
Departed: as a free agent, October 2005
Former first-round draft pick by the Phillies, Eric made the club on
the last day of Spring Training 2004 when the Mets traded Roger Cedeno. I
picked the card shown here because it is, as far as I know, the only card in my
collection showing a player as a member of the Piedmont Boll Weevils. There is
also a card pictured below that shows him playing for the Mets (very hard to
find, I might add).

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.
