David Palmer Autographed 1986 Fleer Update #U-87 Atlanta Braves Card

Add an Atlanta Braves issue of right-handed pitcher David Palmer with this David Palmer autographed 1986 Fleer Update #U-87 Atlanta Braves card. The Fleer Update set captured players in new uniforms and changing roles during the season, with #U-87 featuring Palmer during his first year with Atlanta following several seasons with the Montreal Expos.

Palmer joined the Braves for the 1986 season and worked as both a starter and reliever. He appeared in 35 games, making 15 starts, and finished the year with an 11-10 record and a 3.65 ERA over 145.2 innings. His 11 victories tied for the team lead as he provided Atlanta with valuable versatility on the pitching staff.

Before joining the Braves, Palmer spent the first portion of his Major League career with Montreal. His most memorable performance came on April 21, 1984, when he retired all 15 St. Louis Cardinals batters he faced in a rain-shortened five-inning perfect game. Although later rule changes removed shortened games from official no-hitter and perfect-game recognition, Palmers remarkable outing remains a distinctive part of baseball history.

Palmer pitched professionally for more than a decade, appearing in the Major Leagues with the Expos, Braves, Phillies and Tigers. He finished his MLB career with 64 victories while filling both starting and relief roles.

The 1986 Fleer Update #U-87 combines Palmers first season in Atlanta with a popular 1980s update set, making it an excellent addition for Braves collectors, David Palmer fans, Fleer Update set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
