Tom Glavine knows a thing or two about playing in the World Series. This patch commemorates the 1995 World Series. He was the series MVP pitching 14 innings to a 1.29 ERA including 8 scoreless innings in a Game 7 1-0 shutout. Hard to come up much bigger in that moment. The scan doesn't do this card any justice.

I purchased this lot from COMC in 2022 as part of a bigger order. So many great cards. That 2017 All-Star is my favorite of these three cards. Even though it's not an action shot I remember that look from Glavine so well. Tom Glavine is one of my top 5 all-time favorite players.

I normally try to block out the New York Mets days, but I like that photo.

We need more Highlights cards like this. 2007 was Glavine's last year in New York and went 13-8 in his age 41season. He ended his career with 305 wins, 2X Cy Young, 10X All-Star, 1995 World Series MVP, 4X Silver Slugger and of course induction into the MLB Hall of Fame.

So many fun cards and designs amongst all of these. This 2014 Topps Archives below is maybe my favorite of this lot. That 1980 design has always been one I really like even without a team logo. Enjoy the World Series!

Cool pickups. I probably should have been a bigger Glavine fan, since I watched a lot of Braves games on TBS during the 90's... and he was the lefty in the rotation. But Maddux and that insane control swayed my vote.
