Jim became the catcher on the old Mets all-time team by virtue of his relative batting success. Even though his hitting stats were very modest by today's standards, they dwarfed the stats of the Mets' other two principal catchers of that age, Charlie Reipschlager and Bill Holbert. An 1800s Buchner Gold Coin card is pictured here, courtesy of the Library of Congress, and an Old Judge card from the same source is shown below.
