Dave Martinez Autographed 1992 Fleer #485 Montreal Expos Card

Featuring Dave Martinez with the Montreal Expos, this Dave Martinez autographed 1992 Fleer #485 Montreal Expos card is a transitional issue released after his four-season tenure with the organization. Although Martinez joined the Cincinnati Reds for the 1992 season, Fleer continued to picture him with Montreal on card #485.

Martinez joined the Expos in July 1988 following a trade from the Chicago Cubs and developed into a regular presence in Montreals outfield. His versatility allowed him to play all three outfield positions while contributing a combination of contact hitting and speed.

His strongest season with Montreal came in 1990, when Martinez batted .279 with a career-high 147 hits, 23 doubles, 11 home runs, a career-best 60 RBI and 17 stolen bases. He remained with the Expos through 1991, appearing in 133 games and collecting 119 hits during his final season with the club.

Martinez went on to play 16 Major League seasons, finishing with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 career batting average. His career later extended to the dugout, where he served as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs before managing the Washington Nationals to the 2019 World Series championship.

With its Montreal imagery despite Martinez moving to Cincinnati for the 1992 season, the 1992 Fleer #485 offers an interesting snapshot of the transition between two stages of his playing career. It is an appealing addition for Expos collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Fleer set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
