I don’t have too many relic cards in my collection… and this is the only dual player memorabilia card that I own. It’s from the 2007 Upper Deck Elements set, and it’s number 37/50. I bought it for $5 at a card show last year, and I have no idea how well or poorly I did. I can’t find another copy that’s for sale or sold recently.
To tell the truth, I bought it because it was a dual player card featuring Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado; the game-worn fabric swatches weren’t a big factor in its appeal.
An era of Mets baseball is drawing to a close. Who knows where Carlos Delgado will play in 2010? Even more uncertainty surrounds Carlos Beltran’s future in New York.
We’ve seen some great players in Mets history during this era, but there’s been only one playoff trip to show for it. It’s been an exciting and an infuriating time to be a Mets fan.
this card is a great sign of recent seasons, nice pickup!

I’ve got 1969 and 1976-2000 in binders. After that, I ran out of shelf space. The newer cards are in team set bags (and penny sleeves, if I happened to really like the set) in boxes in a closet. And most of the cards that I’ve acquired in the past four or five months are still sitting in a pile on my desk.
