Featuring Gerald Perry with the Atlanta Braves, this Gerald Perry autographed 1985 Fleer #338 Atlanta Braves card represents an early-career issue of the first baseman and outfielder who developed into one of Atlanta's most productive hitters during the second half of the 1980s.
Perry was selected by the Braves in the 11th round of the 1978 MLB Draft and made his Major League debut with Atlanta in 1983. He appeared in 74 games during the 1984 season, continuing his transition from a highly productive minor league hitter into a regular role with the Braves.
By 1986, Perry had become an everyday player for Atlanta, batting .276 with 146 hits and 14 home runs. His best season came in 1988, when he batted .300 with 154 hits, 29 doubles, eight home runs, 74 RBI and 29 stolen bases while earning the only All-Star selection of his career.
Perry remained with Atlanta through 1989 before continuing his career with the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals. He later returned to the Braves and concluded a 13-season Major League career with more than 1,000 hits and a .265 career batting average.
Issued before Perry established himself as an everyday Major League player and several years before his All-Star season, the 1985 Fleer #338 is an appealing addition for Braves collectors, Gerald Perry fans, 1985 Fleer set collectors, All-Star collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
