Phil Garner Autographed 1982 Donruss #544 ERR Pittsburgh Pirates Card

Own an autographed 1982 Donruss #544 ERR baseball card personally signed by Phil Garner, featuring one of the best-known corrected error cards of the early 1980s.

The 1982 Donruss baseball set is a 660-card release consisting of 653 numbered cards and seven unnumbered checklist cards. It marked the debut of the popular Diamond Kings artwork by Dick Perez and was packaged with pieces of a 63-piece Babe Ruth puzzle instead of bubble gum. The set includes rookie cards of Cal Ripken Jr., Lee Smith, Dave Stewart, and Brett Butler. Card #544 featuring Phil Garner was issued in two versions: an error card with a reverse-negative photograph and a later corrected version with the image facing the proper direction, making it one of the most recognizable corrected errors in the set.

Phil Garner enjoyed a 16-year Major League career with the Oakland Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros, and San Francisco Giants. Nicknamed "Scrap-Iron" for his hard-nosed style of play, Garner was a three-time All-Star and a key member of the 1979 World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates, helping the "We Are Family" club capture the championship. Following his playing career, Garner enjoyed success as a Major League manager, leading the Houston Astros to the 2005 National League pennant.

This 1982 Donruss #544 ERR card features Garner with the Pittsburgh Pirates and is the sought-after reverse-negative error variation, in which his image is printed backward. Personally signed by Phil Garner, this card is an outstanding collectible for Pirates fans, Donruss error card collectors, and autograph enthusiasts.
