Gary Carter’s 1991 Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Gary Carter, an illustrious figure in the world of baseball, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003, a testament to his remarkable career. As an 11-time All-Star, Carter’s contributions to the sport are celebrated by fans and collectors alike. His legacy is immortalized not only in his achievements but also in the memorabilia that captures moments from his storied career.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This exceptional jersey is a rare artifact from Carter’s time with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The inside rear collar proudly displays a “Rawlings” size “46” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions. An attached “SET 1 1991” flag tag further authenticates its origin. Across the chest, the iconic “Dodgers” is emblazoned in blue tackle twill, while the player number “12” graces the front in striking red tackle twill. On the back, “CARTER” and the number “12” are sewn in blue on white tackle twill, directly onto the pristine white jersey. The right sleeve features “Rawlings” in blue stitching, adding a touch of authenticity and craftsmanship.

A Jersey with a Story

Presented to us as game-used, this jersey, in our opinion, shows appropriate use, making it a coveted piece for any baseball memorabilia collector.
