Everyone: Currently on Ebay there is an NY Mets Booster Plate that I believe dates
back to the 1964/65 NY World's Fair era...Item #290615960891
This plate has Mr. Met on the left and reads in capital letters NEW YORK above METS
in blue on an orange background with a blue line border...
The Mr. Met graphic is in color painted and has good detail...
I began to follow the Mets in the late 60s as a boy and attended my first game
Helmet Day 1968 vs. LA Dodgers and I never remember an item like this...
Was this plate sold by Harry M. Stevens Souvenirs at Shea Stadium?
I have been interested in license plates for much of my life and if the Mets sold
these back then I probably would have gotten one...
In NY for example a booster plate can NOT be displayed on the front of a vehicle
in lieu of the front plate unless you can display both...in 1964/65 NY issued one
plate for the NYWF issue...and this item dating from those years makes sense...
Can anyone verify date wise or remember this NY Mets booster plate?
This also made me interested in the years that Mr. Met was used-I recall that
it was phased out sometime in the 70s and returned later in the 80s or early
90s? If there is a Mr. Met topic already please direct me...
If anyone has any Mr. Met history I do appreciate it...
Thanks in advance-LI MIKE
