Joey had been producing diminishing returns for several years before showing up at the Mets’ doorstep with an abysmal .248 OBP from the prior season.  He had a reputation as a good glove man, though.  Unfortunately, in his short stint with New York, none of those talents really appeared.  He’s shown here during his most successful big-league season, on 2018 Topps Heritage.  More cards appear below.

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.
