As I mentioned earlier this week, I wanted to clear out my folder of unposted autograph scans before the end of the month. It may be the last day of February, but fortunately these are the last three.
Doug Flynn was a light-hitting, slick-fielding second baseman who had the misfortune to be traded for the most popular player in Mets history. I think it’s probably a good thing that he played in the late 70s and early 80s, because I’d hate to see how modern Mets fans would treat him.
Fleer’s inaugural 1980s offering doesn’t seem all that impressive, but I guess it was a big deal at the time. The design itself isn’t that bad, but the photography leaves something to be desired. Still, I prefer the 1981 set to the 1982 offering where nearly every card seems to use a shot that’s out of focus.
This card was an eBay purchase.
