“Wright’s third full season as the Mets third baseman was his greatest as he was honored with both the 2007 Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards while finishing fourth in NL MVP balloting. A complete player who also gets high marks for his demeanor, David set a Mets record with a 26-game hitting streak that spanned ’06 and ’07.”
The most interesting card in this pack was actually the Home Run Derby Contest game card. I don’t know why, but it’s actually serial numbered 846/999. It’s even lower numbered than Topps Gold cards! The contest ended back in December 2008, but I couldn’t have won anyways. Ryan Howard didn’t even participate in the 2008 Home Run Derby!
