Dave Martinez Autographed 1990 Upper Deck #470 Montreal Expos Card
Featuring Dave Martinez during a productive period with Montreal, this Dave Martinez autographed 1990 Upper Deck #470 Montreal Expos card captures the versatile outfielder as an established member of the Expos lineup. Upper Decks second baseball release continued the brands emphasis on sharp photography, quality card stock and a polished presentation that helped distinguish its cards during the era.
Martinez joined the Montreal Expos in July 1988 after beginning his Major League career with the Chicago Cubs. He became a regular in Montreals outfield, providing a combination of contact hitting, speed and defensive versatility while seeing action at all three outfield positions.
He enjoyed one of his strongest seasons in 1990, batting .279 with a career-high 147 hits, 23 doubles, 11 home runs, a career-best 60 RBI and 17 stolen bases. Martinez appeared in 147 games as the Expos finished 85-77, providing steady production in a lineup that included Tim Raines, Tim Wallach and Andrs Galarraga.
Martinez remained with Montreal through 1991 before continuing a Major League career that ultimately spanned 16 seasons. He finished his playing days with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 batting average while playing for nine different franchises.
His baseball career continued successfully in the dugout. 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. Combining Upper Decks photography-focused presentation with Martinezs productive Expos tenure, the 1990 Upper Deck #470 is an appealing addition for Montreal collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Upper Deck set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
