Gary Carter Post Mortem Autographed Card

[joshuanip]

Hi. I got this from a distant relative who was a close personal friend of Gary. So this isn’t a clubhouse auto.

I thought about getting this JSA’d but thought it would be pointless if I’m keeping it. It’s a bit macabre but really different kind of card.

Definitely something that will raise eyebrows (and doubt) in the future, especially with no formal back up for the story aside from personal assurances.

I know Gary collected cards himself and perhaps he thought it might be something special to have a card like that out there which is a memorial, but signed at the same time, something only a person who was facing their ultimate fate could produce. I assume he knew 2012 would be it for him, given the stage of the cancer and decided to have a little fun with it before he went.

Not too many like it, if any, out there for anyone else.

Definitely NOT Post Mortem - by definition, such would be impossible.


now...barley pre mortem...possible...but, I'm finding this whole discussion a little too creepy.


I believe Mr. Carter deserves another RIP because of this thread.


RIP Gary! We miss you.
