Early 1980s Gary Carter Game-Used Montreal Expos Road Jersey

Gary “Kid” Carter’s Iconic Montreal Expos Jersey

A Legendary Hall of Famer

Gary Carter, affectionately known as “Kid,” was a beacon of excellence in the world of baseball. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003, Carter holds the distinction of being the first Hall of Famer to be depicted as a member of the Montreal Expos on his plaque. This honor underscores his profound impact on the team and the sport. His legacy is celebrated through this remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia, a testament to his enduring influence.

The Jersey: A Symbol of Excellence

This exquisite jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a masterpiece of sports history. Inside the rear collar, it features a “Wilson” size “44” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. The absence of year tagging suggests it may have been an extra, adding to its unique allure. The left chest proudly displays an “M” logo in vibrant red, white, and blue tackle twill, with “expos” elegantly inscribed below in blue tackle twill. The player number “8” is prominently featured on both the left chest and back in striking red tackle twill, while the name “CARTER” is emblazoned across the back, sewn directly onto the powder blue fabric.
