Anyone have any Gary Carter cool items or stories they want to share?

Had this for a while, seller's regret:

xx sold 1955 Topps #200- Jackie Jensen SGC-84 NM - Gary Carter Collection SOLD.jpg

I got to thinking about that seller's regret and got this:

Reminds me of a seller on ebay who was claiming to have a 1971 Topps set that once belonged to Charlie Sheen and was asking a crazy premium for it. The difference here is that those cards are marked as coming from Gary Carter, where as the set was just raw in a binder and 9 pocket sheets!

Not sure I could/would pay a premium for an item once owned by someone of interest, but it could be a cool conversation starter if I had anything like that.

I discovered this series when someone sold a Steve Garvey on ebay years back. Turns out, there were two different Garvey after I did some extensive research into the issue.

They are from a 70s-80s Canadian magazine and certain issues (not all) contained 2 pages worth of these "cards". Sometimes it was hockey, sometimes baseball, sometimes football. I noticed that when it was baseball, it was either 8 stars or 8 Expos players. They were clearly meant to be clipped and saved with the dotted lines between them. I categorize them in the bubblegumless arena. The backs are either articles or photos and are not related to the fronts, but still a cool little magazine "card".

Loved Carter on the Expos, then he went to the Mets. His 84 Donruss signed is pretty tough, only signed for charity.
