Let me make this clear. The 1970 set is an abomination!!!!! Drab, colorless gray images with a lack of any action...just a yawnfest.
But then we saw the images of the '69 Mets all over the place, so my friends and I learned to love it!!!
1. Look at that number 1 card proclaiming "World Champions"!!!! That was a wet dream for me and my Queens brethren...although we were only little boys at the time.
2. Mazeroski's card is just a pretty cool shot, showing a joyful player in a very engaging layout.
3. Aaron, although he looks somewhat surprised, exudes such a boyish charm.
4 & 5. Gaze upon the pair of right handed Mets fireballers mowing down the Braves on the way to the championship. Awesome!!!!!!!!!

With the good comes the bad...or strange...or confusing...
1. Why is one of President Nixon's secret service agents disguised as a Phillies player at Shea Stadium??
2. Okay, Ken, keep that pose...perfect...oh wait, let's move this other fellah in a little closer and capture the beauty of his elbow.
3. Say hey, um, what's up with your face?? Spending a little cash on 'tan in a can'??
