“ So his shirt has the full Montreal Expos log, but the hat and card logo cut out the blue b? Looking at other examples for the team on line this is the norm. The colour combination of the border with the uniform really stand out. And who can argue with Kool Aid man making an appearance on the back! Oh YAAAAAA! ” -rmpaq5

“ I don't know why I love minor league cards so much. I try to pick up as many Braves minor leaguers as I can. ” -davidhandberry

“ Expos please come back! ” -carthage44

“ This card is awesome in so many ways! The logo is odd looking without the blue portion (despite the usual version appearing on the jersey) ” -dilemma19

“ Weekly Minor League Baseball. And we have an Expo. The team has a pretty long history being affiliated with many MLB teams over the years. They were mostly known as the Jacksonville Suns, when affiliated with Montreal from 1984-90 they were the Jacksonville Expos, after 1990 they returned to being the Suns. They have been affiliated with the Marlins since 2009 and as of Nov 2016 became known as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. My my minor league baseball gets mighty confusing. ” -captkirk42

“ Hell yes old-school ProCards. This is a perfect design. Love the red border, I think I've only seen these in the light blue so far. Really dig the subtle adaptation of the Expos logo to reflect the Jacksonville location, too. ” -marcbrubaker

“ Nice Kool-Aid colored card! ” -suomibear8

“ Hey, Kool-Aid!! Oh, yeah! At first I thought the logo was not outlined well and off-center. But recognizing it's the Jacksonville Expos, the "J" makes sense. But then the uni logo doesn't. ” -kents_stuff

“ Ohhh yeahhh! ” -UKboogie

“ I thought there was something wrong with the Expos logo, then I saw his hat is the same. Odd. Standard ProCard, not used to the red. ” -muskie027

“ Never seen a red border ProCards before, very nice. Kool-Aid? OH YEAH! I would totally drink Kool-Aid again if they had cards with them. Not sure how they would package them though unless it was a mail in deal. ” -jupiterhill

I know there are some confused about the difference in the hat/card logo in relation to the jersey logo. I'm willing to get that the jersey is an old hand-me-down from the parent club. It's possible it was his spring training jersey, but hand-me-down seems more likely.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

I stared at the billboards on this card for probably two minutes trying to make out the Koolaid man you all so clearly were able to see. Finally gave up and flipped over the card to look at the back. OH YEAH!

The red and white portion of the logo represents a "J" for Jacksonville. The blue part (or "b") added gets you the "M" for Montreal. As a kid, I never could recognize the script M for the Expos logo. I thought it was "e-l-b" which I thought may have been the french abbreviation for Expos....LOL
