Tom Seaver is up next on the random list of players I collect. We just lost Tom in August. Mets fans knew him as "The Franchise" as he was the main spark plug on that amazing "Miracle Mets" team that won the World Championship in 1969. 12 All-star selections, three Cy Young Awards, five league-leading strikeout campaigns and three ERA titles later, he wound up in the Hall of Fame with the most votes ever accumulated up to that point. He was a Rookie of the Year in 1967, he threw a no-hitter and led his league in victories three times. Seaver retired to Napa Valley, California where he started his own vineyard. For so long he was known as "Tom Terrific" that in 2019 NFL quarterback, Tom Brady was denied a trademark to that same moniker when the U.S. Trademark Office said it would confuse him with Seaver. I currently have 659 different Beckett recognized cards of Seaver in my collection including these nine vintage.
