TOM TERRIFIC!!!...Seaver's astounding '69 season, which included a league-leading 25 victories and a 2.21 ERA, earned him the first of his three NL Cy Young awards. This card is especially significant in Mets history because it exhibits the franchise's best-ever player during the season that they improbably won their first World Series championship. Having never experienced a winning season since their inception in 1962, there were little-to-no expectations for the Mets in 1969. Largely on the back of Seaver, the Miracle Mets went 100-62 and defeated the Atlanta Braves in the inaugural NLCS. They then pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Series history, defeating an Orioles squad that was considered to be one of the finest ever at the time. This MINT stunner features snow-white borders, crisp edges, and a clean surface with only one example graded higher!
