This set of Gary Carter game-worn catcher's shin guards dates to the 1980s and Carter's time with the Expos. Both guards display the rugged physical evidence of "The Kid’s" defensive play behind the plate. The guards exhibit significant front-side scuffing and impact marks, with multiple straps featuring period tape repairs necessitated by heavy professional use. Authenticity is supported by the presence of Carter’s jersey number "8", marked on each guard in a style consistent with his known equipment specifications. Additionally, one guard includes his surname, written adjacent to the number. All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
