But instead, all I have is the 1990s Mets comprehensive set from The Wiz; black and white, crappy photography, and once I sharpened the image, it appears that the "NY" on the cap is a paste job; he's probably actually in a Tidewater uniform or some such. But…better than nothing, I suppose.
In various sizes, including my usual gratuitous sepia treatment of B/W pictures:

You're right it's not always easy to find pictures of some players. For Edens, you could also use the "fake" color picture made from his Tidewater Tides card (seems better than the Wiz card). You might find a real one someday. Not sure also than the one used on this autographed index card is the real thing! Keep on looking!
