1992 Topps #996 Kelvin Torve

 Today's missing Topps card is #996 Kelvin Torve.

Kelvin made his MLB debut in 1988 with the Minnesota Twins. He spent 1989 in the minors and played with the New York Mets in 1990 and 1991. 

Kelvin missed out on playing for the '87 World Champion Twins by a year. After the 1991 season, he played in Japan and was a teammate of Ichiro. He was mistakenly given the #24 by the Mets when it was 'unofficially' retired as it was Willie Mays' number. After playing a few games in the number, he was given #39. 

Kelvin never got into a regular Topps set. He is missing cards from the 1988 Topps Traded set, the 1989 Topps set, the 1990 Topps Traded set, and the 1991 Topps set. 

Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I have made his 1991 Topps custom.

Kelvin just needs cards from the 1988 Topps Traded set, the 1989 Topps set, and the 1990 Topps Traded set to complete his career Topps run.

Thanks for checking out my latest post.
