Featuring Dave Martinez during his first full season with Montreal, this Dave Martinez autographed 1989 Fleer #384 Montreal Expos card represents an early Expos issue of the versatile outfielder. Martinez had arrived in Montreal from the Chicago Cubs during the 1988 season and quickly became a regular presence in the Expos outfield.

Originally selected by the Chicago Cubs in the third round of the 1983 MLB Draft, Martinez reached the majors in 1986 and established himself as a regular the following year. The Cubs traded him to Montreal in July 1988, where his combination of contact hitting, speed and the ability to play multiple outfield positions made him a useful part of the Expos lineup.

In 1989, Martinez appeared in 144 games and batted .274 while collecting 131 hits, 21 doubles, 41 RBI and 11 stolen bases. He followed with a productive 1990 season, batting .279 with 147 hits, 11 home runs, 60 RBI and 17 stolen bases.

Martinez spent three full seasons with Montreal from 1989 through 1991 before continuing a well-traveled Major League career. He ultimately played 16 seasons, appearing for nine different franchises and finishing with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 batting average.

His career in professional baseball continued well beyond his playing days. Martinez served as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs and later became manager of the Washington Nationals, guiding the franchise to its first World Series championship in 2019. The 1989 Fleer #384 is an appealing early Expos card for Montreal collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Fleer set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
