>>>>The d'Arnaud Collection

A message from my brother:

I agreed that this would more than likely happen because it's just the way the Mets roll.

Actually, it's the way baseball rolls. These types of storybook moments happen all the time.

A pro player in payback mode is the most dangerous type of player there is.

Lets roll out the MFC

Travis d'Arnaud Collection!

____________________

Remember those cute FLEER stickers.

Travis looks like he's around twelve years old.

 I couldn't find a large quality picture of the field so Travis ends up in the stands. He looks okay with it.

Yep, this is an MFC Premium!

I'm not sure what that means.

Travis wore the uniform numbers 15, 7, & 18 as a Metropolitan.

Currently my personal favorite of all the d'Arnaud customs I have throw together. 

And this one was shopped up just for this blog post. It's not an original, just a doctored version of his Tampa Bay Topps throw back. I feel that if he's going to be in THE LIVING SET, he's got to be portrayed as a NEW YORK MET!

When adding a card back, which I rarely do, the 1971 Topps design is the one I use the most. Why? Only two lines of stats!

The Topps 2020 border design. 

Meh, it's typical of today's "space age" look. 

Might as well write stuff sideways.

Good luck in all your future endeavors Travis! Thank you for being a Met!

I lost count as to how many Pete Alonso cards have the Topps Rookie symbol on them. At least 25. 
So what does it mean to be a rookie card these days?
Feel free to comment.

As far as I am concerned Pete Alonso's 2016 "1st BOWMAN"
is his actual, factual rookie card, no other.
And it doesn't even include the Topps Rookie Symbol. Ha!
