Gary Carter’s Game-Used Equipment: A Tribute to a Legend

An Iconic Collection of Baseball Memorabilia

We are honored to present an extraordinary collection of game-used equipment from the legendary Gary Carter. This collection is not just a testament to Carter’s illustrious career but also a beacon of hope as it supports the noble cause of the Gary Carter Foundation. Each item in this collection tells a story of dedication, skill, and passion for the game of baseball.

Details of the Collection

The collection features a range of items, each meticulously preserved and presented with authenticity. Among these are:

• Batting Helmet: Inside the helmet is an “American Baseball Cap” size “7 ¼” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a warning label. The back showcases an “ABC” logo sticker, while “KID” is inscribed on both the back and the top of the bill. The front proudly displays an orange “NY” logo.
• Catcher’s Mask: The strap of the mask bears an “ALL-STAR” manufacturer’s tag, with two additional tags reading “MADE IN TAIWAN”.
• Shin Guards: Each shin guard is marked with “MacGregor”, indicating the manufacturer. The inside of each knee guard features the player number “8” written in black marker.
• Nike Cleats: These blue cleats, manufactured by Nike, have the player number “8” inscribed on the inside of each tongue in black marker. Gary Carter has signed each cleat inside the white “Nike” logo in blue marker, with the signature rating a 3 in our opinion.

These items are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, show great use. They are accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and a Carter Foundation LOA.
