New York Mets 50th Anniversary Collector's DVD SET

Too much recycled content.
I have been waiting to see what would be included in this set and its a great disapointment. 4 out of the 5 games have already been released on other Mets DVD sets. The higlights films from the early years are interesting but still not worth the price if you have the other Mets DVD sets.
All the games from the 1969 World Series do exist in fairly decent shape. Why couldn't MLB release that entire Series instead of one game on a previous set and one game on this set.

Again,MLB strikes out...Looking.
This could have been great. Combine all of the yearly highlight films,throw in some great games from the vault[there has to be some Seaver games extant hrow in the WS and LCS that exist.Show some of the original broadcast team Kiners Korner.Well, that is not happening here...As a previous reviewer has stated,this set exists in other forms on other sets. The highlight films from various years do exist[they play on SNY as Mets yearbook] and SNY has broadcast all of the 5 WS games from 1969[albeit the first two on black and whitethis set, again desultory in its make-up,proves that the fools at MLB are as clueless as the owner-Commissioner I know he sold the team,to his family.He was still an owner commissioner.And an ass .Next time consult a fan.This is a set for met fans who think Endy Chavez' catch in the 2006 LCS was one of the 5 great moments in team history.HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I echo some of the previous reviewers on this 10 DVD set. It's really pretty good although it could've been better in some respects. I'm an avid Mets fan like many here who would buy this & some of the material on this is particularly wonderful because it's never been available commercially before (1969 World Series Game 3 & 2000 NLCS Game 5). The 2 winning official World Series films of '69 & '86, though not that long, was wise to include. The 25th anniversary film (updated version through 1988 season) is here too, excellent choice. The recent "50 Greatest Mets" which was released separately is also in this, bonus material & all, terrific decision. Highlight films or videos of 1963 season, '69, '73, '78, '88, '90, '00 & '06 are here. Here's where reasonable folks could begin to question some of the stuff present. Where's the 1986 highlight film, "A Year To Remember"? A great one hour VHS video that's never been officially converted to DVD yet. How about 1999 when they went to Game 6...
