Gary “Kid” Carter’s 1981 Game-Used Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career Immortalized

Gary “Kid” Carter, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being an 11-time All-Star, a World Series champion, and having his iconic No. 8 retired by the Montreal Expos franchise. This jersey, a testament to his enduring legacy, is a rare and significant piece of baseball memorabilia.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a stunning representation of Carter’s time with the Montreal Expos. On the inside rear collar fold, it features a “Rawlings” size “46” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. The right inseam proudly displays a tag that reads, “SET 1 1981,” confirming its authenticity and vintage. The left chest is adorned with the team’s “M” logo in white, red, and blue tackle twill, while the player number “8” graces the right chest and back. Below the team logo, “expos” is elegantly displayed, with “CARTER” emblazoned across the back, all in red tackle twill sewn directly onto the powder blue jersey.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, Carter signed the jersey below “expos” in pen, and in our opinion, the signature rates a 7-8 overall. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Such a piece is not just a garment but a relic of baseball history, capturing the essence of Carter’s remarkable career.
