Finished off one of the strangest Mets rainbows there is - every Mets autograph from Luis De Los Santos, who has Rookie Cards as a Met despite never playing for them at the major league level.

You get one of these guys every couple of years. None this year, but there was one who did it in reverse, debuting with the Mets and then having Rookie Cards with a different team he never played for (at any level). But that’s a story for another time.

Justin Verlander All-Star jersey! That’s one I was going to buy anyway and probably the best card of the whole bunch. I’ll take it.
