Hello,
I have this Gary Carter original photo and I am trying to date it. I believe it to be from his rookie year in 1975. Does anyone know when the Expos stopped using the all-blue batting helmets?

    In 1979 they changed to a red number on front. So it is 1978 or earlier.

    Thank you! In looking at 1977 Topps Expos cards I didn't see any that depicted the all-blue helmet for the 1976 season. For 1976 Topps I saw a handful of cards reflecting the all-blue helmet for the 1975 season.

    Kind of prophetic seeing him in the Expos helmet with the Mets logo in the background above the score board. The Mets being his future team.
