Helmar “This Great Game” Card #120 – Carl Morton (Montréal Expos)

This Helmar “This Great Game” card celebrates Carl Morton, the dependable right-hander
who became one of the Montréal Expos’ early stars. Shown here in the classic Expos uniform
with glove in hand, Morton’s portrait captures the poise and confidence of a young
expansion-era pitcher. The artwork’s crisp detail and vivid palette echo the early 1970s
baseball aesthetic, framed with bright borders and the familiar red-and-blue Montréal insignia
prominently displayed.

Morton earned the National League Rookie of the Year honors in 1970, the first in Expos
history, and went on to serve as a cornerstone of their pitching staff before joining the Atlanta
Braves. This Helmar issue—Card No. 120—embodies the series’ dedication to immortalizing
players from baseball’s modern expansion period through meticulous hand-painted
craftsmanship and nostalgic design.
