First John Olerud, whose praises I have sung before.
I was so happy to grab this off ebay when I did about ten years ago. Now, I am even happier. I does not appear that Olerud has many autographed cards out there, so this one has kept its value nicely. I guess that doesn't matter though, because I won't be parting with it anytime soon.
Second, here is the Al Leiter from the same series.
Leiter pitched a total of seven seasons for the Mets and though there were a couple of bad seasons in that mix, I remember him as a big game pitcher. He also had some stellar statistics during what was likely the heyday of the steroid era. His WHIPs were frequently below 1.30 and got as low as 1.50 in his first year with the Mets, 1998. He also had 8.1 K/9 that year with a 2.47 ERA in 193 IP. I'd take that line on my fantasy team any day.
