Mets 360 - Duke Snider

This one’s a bit of a mindbleep.

It’s a 2012 Topps Heritage Mint card that pays tribute to Duke Snider‘s 400th career home run, and it contains an uncirculated 1963 quarter embedded in a small round window to the right of a photo of the kneeling Silver Fox.

Duke hit this milestone homer as a member of the Mets on June 14, 1963. At the time, he became the 9th player with 400 career bombs– as of today, there are now 49 such players, with David Ortiz and Adam Dunn sure to push the total past 50 later this year…
