Ranking the 30 MLB teams on my watch - New York Mets #21 of 30

David Wright, Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler made this team kind of relevant in 2013 - but Harvey is out until 2015 and besides the other two, the Mets' roster consist of guys who should be playing in AAA, not in the Major Leagues.

2013 Bowman Platinum blaster recap

I was looking to see if I'd pull an autograph or something even though I still say I'm paying way too much [about $20 plus tax from a Target] - to pick up 32 random cards per box.

An idea for Topps is to perhaps label the backs of the cards to identify which parallel sets they are from - the base cards are shiny and maybe confused for parallels but besides that, I have to guess and look up cards I pulled if I suspect if they are more than just base cards.
