- My son & I were two of the
42,605 who attended the Mets game vs. the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday 7/19/25 @ Citi Field. When it was announced that this date would
be the day the Mets would (finally) retire David Wright number, I was excited for him & noted to myself that I should get tickets to
this game for myself & my son .... as D-Wright was "his" guy growing up. This would be the first of "his" sports "idols" going
up who would be going up into the rafters. Then, I forgot about it for a little bit. Next thing I know, the game is SOLD OUT!
& this is like MAYBE two weeks after the ceremony was announced?! That NEVER happens in Mets Land! Guess that goes to show you how beloved
David was. So, I continued to search the Mets site and all the secondary tickets were north of $200 a pop. Most were in sections
that were anything special. So I kept stalling. Then I got lucky. I am on the 7-Army's mailing list & I got an e-mail
from them. They were offering a limited number of tickets in their CF section. While also not cheap, they were on the field
level, good view AND they also included a "commemorative" orange Wright replica jersey. I had also never sat with them, so
I thought this would be a great reason to do so. So, knowing time was running out, I popped for two tickets. Four hundred forty dollars later,
we were in the building. This was easily the MOST I'd ever paid for a ticket to ANY game, regular season OR playoff. The drive
in from Westchester was gruelling ... & we even left extra early. Got stuck parking at the Marina ... a first for me, as well.
We made it inside with maybe 20 minutes to spare. Just enough to hit the bathroom and grab a drink. By the time we hit our seats, the ceremony
was just about to start. My takeaways from it was a) I thought they spent WAY too much time about a guy who had spent 51 years with
the club. Ok,
fine ... you may be a well known guy by the organization & all. Great! Toss him a party somewhere in his honor
in Citi Field. Give
him gifts. I'm sure he deserves them. But virtually no one in the stands knows who his is/was. We then have
to watch a video
made for him, see him presented with a plaque, etc. Nothing for nothing, but we didn't come to see this guy. Hey .... NO OFFENSE dude, whoever you are.
I'm not hating on you, but this was David's day. B) I thought it was "odd" that the Mets didn't give David any gifts. I mean, yeah
.... they gave him a framed jersey (unless it was just a prop). They also gave him an oversized photo of a number "5" made of photos
of all his teammates. Ok .... kinda cool, but that's it? I mean I would expect the Wilpons to have given Wright a haul as
little as this ..... NOT
the Cohens! Anyway, the ceremony was fine. C) Finally, it was time to unveil the number. The skies were threating rain the entire time,
& wouldn't you know it ... right as Howie Rose was going into his intro to remove the cover on the number ..... big fat raindrops began
to fall! It was surreal. BTW: Howie had a GREAT off the cuff remark about the sudden downpour: "That not rain .... those are tears
of happiness & pride!" I started looking around the entire ballpark at this moment. Left to right .... all three levels.
I didn't see a SINGLE person running up the steps for cover! We were ALL there to absorb this moment in time & rain wasn't going to
stop us. Even though the game was terrible, I was still glad I went & glad that my son will have this special memory that will last with
him forever.

In Celebration Of The Retirement Of David's Iconic Number "5", I Have Teamed Up With A NEW Craftsman To Create
The 12" Diameter Retired Plaque You See Offered Below. While This Plaque Looks Identical To The Ones I Have Been Offering Here For Years, There Is A Slight Difference. My
Original Ones Are Crafted Using Layers Of Acrylic. This New Option Is Crafted Using
A 3-D Printer. Being The Latter Is Much Less Time Consuming,
They
Can Be Made For A Less Expensive Price. So, I Am Going To Use This Event To Introduce This NEW Option To Everyone
Going Forward! And To All My Clients Who Have Purchased
The Original Style Previously (& Who May Want To Add The Newer Retired Numbers To Their Collection
In
The Future, & In The Original Style, For The Sake Of Continuity) .... Fear Not! I Have Not Cut Ties With My Original
Vendor. SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICING: $ 100 SPECIAL
ORDER OF ALL OTHER RETIRED NUMBER AVAILABLE - PLEASE ALLOW 3-5 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY - FEEL FREE TO INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS

AUTHENTIC SUPER RARE STYLE UNRESTORED Shea Stadium
Orange End Aisle Field
Level Box Seat Including
FREE Acrylic Shea Stadium Final
Season Logo End!
This EXTREMELY rare model chair went into Shea Stadium in the 1990's & served in one of two prime (elevated) locations
on the Field/Main Level.
Only a few hundred of these seats were installed .... and NONE
were offered by The Mets and/or NYC in 2008!
This seat was NOT stripped & repainted by the Mets/NYC because
it never had any lead paint applied to it. Therefore, this seat is exactly as it was when it was
removed from "Big Shea" after the ballpark closed in the Fall of 2008! The only "change" that has been
done to it is the attachment of a FREE 6 inch replica
of the"Final Season of Shea Stadium" logo, beautifully constructed from SEVERAL layers of colorful thick acrylic plastic. Patches
of this logo were worn by the Amazin's on
their uniform sleeves during Shea's final season. This logo has a magnetic back, so it IS removeable, if for any reason you'd prefer this seat not to
sport this logo on its end aisle side.
This
seat sports #16, which is/was Dwight Gooden's retired uniform number. The row letter also just HAPPENS to be "G", as in GOODEN, as well. So, if you are a HUGE Doc fan, this seat is just
SCREAMING at you to buy it .... &
probably get him to sign it for you at one of his many appearances in the NYC area! Rows of these newer box seats rarely ran as long as
16 or more seats across, making me feel like there can not be more than just a handful of "16" seats of this model around, AND that are MLB Authenticated! This seat has been authenticated by Major
League Baseball & sports a tamper-proof serial numbered hologram on its silver seat number tag.

AUTHENTIC 'GAME USED' "Full" TICKET From The FIRST Game Ever Played At Shea Stadium! Here Are A Pair Of Ticket Stubs That Allowed Admission To
The FIRST New York Mets Home Game EVER Played At Shea Stadium On
April 17th, 1964 vs. The Pittsburgh Pirates.
Both Of These Stubs Are In
REALLY Nice Overall Condition, As
The Posted Photos Will Attest To!
The Two Original Box Seat Tickets That Generated These Stubs Were Printed
Back To Back & Were Used By Two Patrons Who Went To The Game Together & Sat Side By Side.
Being This Was The First Game Hosted @ Shea,
Some Of The Ticket Takers/Ushers Were On The Job For Their FIRST Day. Thus, The
Usher Who "Ripped" These Two Tickets Inadvertently Made A "Happy
Accident" On One Of Them, As Painter Bob Ross Loved To Say!!
In Those Days, Ticket Takers Were Taught To Rip Each Ticket In Half .... Ideally
Along The Dotted Line. After That, Hand The TOP Portion Of The Ticket Back To The Patron. The
Top Portion Of The Ticket (With Mr. Met's Picture) Carried The RAIN CHECK Portion Of The Ticket. The
Rain Check Allowed The Patron To Exchange It For A Ticket For Another Game, Should
This Game Be Rained Out or Cancelled.
Well ..... Whomever Ripped These Tickets Goofed! After Ripping The Ticket
For Seat #1, He Handed The WRONG End Of The Ticket, a.k.a. The "Usher's
Stub" Back To The Patron! Conversely,
The Patron Who Held The Ticket To Seat #2 Received The Correct Stub, a.k.a. The "Rain Check
Stub".
Usher Stubs Are Nearly IMPOSSIBLE To Find For This Game, As 99.99% Of Them Were Collected
At The Gates, Counted At The End Of The Day & Then Trashed. So, The Only Ones Still In
Existence Are Ones That Were Accidentally
Handed To Fans At The Turnstyles.
NOW, What Makes THESE
Two Stubs So AMAZINGLY Awesome Is TWO Reasons: ONE .... The Two Ticket Stubs
Are IN Sequence. They Were Printed Side By Side
For The Same Field Level
Box. They Went To The Game Side By Side & Have Remained Side By
Side For The Last 60 Years! So, They Are SURVIVORS!
The SECOND & Even MORE Amazing Thing About These Two Stubs Is HOW They Were Torn! The
Usher Who Ripped The Seat #1 Ticket JUST Happened To Leave A LITTLE Extra Ticket Below
The Dotted Line.
Its Because Of This Little Extra Amount Paper Left Intact That
I Was Able To Display These Stubs Under Plexiglass As You See Them In The Photos Above.
The END Result Is One Of
The Most UNIQUE Tickets You Will EVER Find For This Historic Game!
Non-Ripped/Full
Tickets To This Game Are VERY Tough To Come By .... & Can Typically Run THOUSANDS
Of Dollars To Acquire When You Do.
Here
Is YOUR Chance To Acquire One Of The Holy Grails Of New York Mets Collectibles! $ 2000
