All the above cards are post career. I have 106 playing days cards and 35 post career.
Where they came from -
- Ebay (84 cards)

Over half came from Ebay but I'm betting Sportlots will be up there by this time next year as I continue through my player collections.
I only have 1 relic card which isn't surprising when it comes to the older guys since I tend to buy cheapies.
I collect Gary Carter because I was a Mets fan growing up. I watched those World Series games in 1986 as a Mets fan.
RIP Gary Carter!
*All cards shown are in my collection but the photos are from TCDB.
My all-time baseball hero.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making this post.
Hard to believe it's been 9 years since he passed away. Seems like only a few years ago. As for his cards, I normally prefer seeing Carter representing the Expos... but that Stadium Club card of him putting on his gear in the dugout is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAnother Mets fan and Carter collector here. I do have a couple of autos of him...need to get a rookie card to complete my trifecta. Been bidding on eBay, but I'm trying to cheap out, too!
ReplyDeleteReally like the '76 card.
