A related Q. These five were shot by Topps and appear on Mets rookie cards, but I've never seen their individual photos as Mets from Topps. Anybody know if they've seen the light of day?

Dick Smith

From your list, yes on everybody except Foss, Parker, Baldwin, and Scarce. I saw the files of those four and did not see images of them with the Mets. Can't explain how they missed Parker. I don't believe Foss was with them except at the very end of the '62 season, and I think Baldwin was an early cut in 1976.

They did shoot Bob Johnson at Shea in May, 1967. A capless image in the Met pinstripe is shown on Johnson's 1968 card:
