I guess the autograph forum is slow compared to this forum so I'll post my photo here. I have prepared about 50 photos to list on eBay Sunday, and for some reason, I cannot identify this New York Mets player - Please email or post here who this is. I appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Hi David, I looked at him when searching different methods, and I thought the jersey number didn't match. Did he wear #3 and #16 for The Mets?
(Pause)
Ok, I did my homework on Baseball Almanac, and I see Lee wore #12 and switched to #16 during his first term with The Mets. When he returned in 1986, he switched to #13 - Which is what confused me as in the picture I have the #1 of the #13 must be folded over so it is not visible and confused me even more.
I appreciate your help!

Joel,
The jersey he's wearing is a Rawlings so the photo is from either the 87 or 88 season. I did a second take when I didn't see the "1" of the "13" on the front and you are probably right it's folded from view in the photo.
Regards
David
