Hubie Brooks Autographed 1985 Fleer #74 New York Mets Card

Add a classic 1980s Mets issue of two-time All-Star Hubie Brooks with this Hubie Brooks autographed 1985 Fleer #74 New York Mets card. The card represents the final portion of Brooks first tenure in New York, where he developed from a highly regarded prospect into one of the clubs most productive everyday players.

The Mets selected Brooks third overall in the 1978 MLB Draft, and he reached the Major Leagues in 1980. He became New Yorks regular third baseman and produced one of his strongest Mets seasons in 1984, batting .283 with 16 home runs, 73 RBI and a career-high 163 hits.

Following the 1984 season, Brooks became a central piece of one of the most important trades in Mets history. New York sent Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham and Floyd Youmans to the Montreal Expos for Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter. Carter became a cornerstone of the Mets 1986 World Series championship club, while Brooks continued to thrive in Montreal.

With the Expos, Brooks developed into a run-producing shortstop and earned consecutive National League All-Star selections in 1986 and 1987. He drove in a career-high 100 runs in 1985 and followed with 91 RBI in 1986 despite playing only 80 games. Brooks later returned to the Mets in 1991 during a 15-year Major League career that also included time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and California Angels.

The 1985 Fleer #74 is an excellent addition for New York Mets collectors, Hubie Brooks fans, collectors interested in players connected to the Gary Carter trade, Fleer set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
