Issued as a "thank you" to a scout who brought another scout into the fold, the N.Y. Boy Scouts cards were a one and done incentive only issued in 1969 and may have been designed for  a single specific event. A nine subject set, featuring 3 Yankees and 6 Miracle Mets, these are some of the most difficult to obtain cards of the 1960's. Cleon Jones was a key contributor to the 1969 World Champions and caught the last out of the 1969 Fall Classic.

None of the nine subjects are known in double-digit amounts in the PSA population report (or even combined with SGC's counts) with Jones having four graded PSA examples, with one at SGC for a grand total of five in TPG holders, no surprise given the rarity of the card.  Graded as an Ex-Mint 6, this is a fine looking specimen, just centered a little to the right. A super difficult card for collectors of 1969 New York Mets items.
