A fan favourite throughout his time in the city of Montreal, Gary Carter spent his first decade in professional baseball with the Expos and acquired his nickname The Kid while in Quebec, with the club later retiring his number. Offered here is this lot consisting of a signed copy of Carter’s 1975 Topps RC, a 2004 Donruss Leaf Limited autograph relic card and a Montreal Expos jersey that has been signed by Carter. Starting with the signed rookie card, Carter is pictured over the front along with Marc Hill, Leon Roberts and Danny Meyer with Carter signing over his image with a bold blue ink signature that shows some fading. Slabbed by PSA, the autograph has been deemed as an authentic signature with the PSA holder remaining in excellent condition. Next, the 2004 Donruss Leaf Limited card, once again showing Carter as a Montreal Expo, features a piece of jersey once worn by Carter alongside his image with a sticker signed by Gary with a black ink autograph that displays well affixed underneath. Remaining in good shape, the card presents in the grade range of EX-MT in our opinion. Lastly, the jersey, a knock off replica example, size “52” tagging is affixed to the inner collar while the Expos logo and Carter’s “8” are found over the left and right breast respectively with Cooperstown Collection and “1982 Gary Carter” tags stitched near the bottom hem. A 1982 All-Star Game patch is found residing over the left sleeve with “Carter” and the number “8” decorating the back of the jersey. Carter has signed the front of the baby blue garment under the Expos crest with a blue ink signature with added nickname, Hall of Fame, World Series champ and All-Star MVP inscriptions underneath the autograph. Showing stains over the lower front, a JSA sticker numbered “XX73027” is affixed to the interior collar tagging and is accompanied by a matching LOA.
