This trade was not as smooth as all of my other trades I have completed on Zistle. Not being truthful about what you sent, saying you sent the cards out when you really did not, and not following through to correct things is a not cool.
Anyway, I mostly received some junk wax cards. The cards were mostly ones that I used to have back in the day and wanted back in my collection. The Mets related cards I received in this trade were:

Getting Chuck Carr in a Mets uniform was something that eluded me. I saw Chuck play quite a bit when I lived in South Florida and he played for the then Florida Marlins. He played quite well for the expansion Marlins team and even led the National League in stolen bases. He pretty much started to regress after that 1993 season.
I learned of him playing for the Mets (only 16 games, though, from 1990-1991) while he was playing with the Houston Astros in what turned out to be his final year in the majors. He started that 1997 season playing for the Brewers, but was released after he popped out on 2-0 pitch. He missed a take sign which upset the Brewers manager Phil Garner. When confronted, Chuck seemed to channel his inner Rickey Henderson by replying "Chuckie don't play that game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0."
