Armando Benitez

The 2002 Topps T206 Armando Benitez #213 is part of Topps' celebrated T206 revival series, which reimagined the iconic early-1900s design for contemporary collectors. Armando Benitez was a dominant closer for the New York Mets during the late 1990s and early 2000s, establishing himself as one of the team's most reliable arms during that competitive period. The T206 design—with its distinctive borders and vintage aesthetic—became instantly recognizable to collectors seeking cards that blended nostalgia with modern production standards. Card #213 features Benitez in his Mets uniform, capturing the player during his prime years in the majors. The 2002 Topps T206 series remains a popular entry point for collectors interested in both the T206 legacy and 2000s-era baseball cards. Whether building a Mets team collection, assembling a closer-focused lineup, or exploring early-2000s releases, the Benitez T206 offers solid collector appeal and historical relevance to that era of baseball.
