Why This Card Matters

Charles Michael Puleo pitched 112 major league games across seven seasons for the Mets, Reds and Braves, and this card catches him at the end of his best Atlanta year. The 1987 line reads 35 games, 123 innings, 99 strikeouts, a 4.23 ERA and a 6-8 record; his career totals are 497 innings, 300 strikeouts, a 4.40 ERA and 23 wins. The highlights panel is unusually detailed for a common: he earned a spot in the Braves rotation and finished third on the club in strikeouts, spent most of 1986 at Richmond going 14-7 with a 3.49 ERA, was second on the Mets in wins and strikeouts in 1982, and struck out 10 batters in a single game against the Braves on 5/31/82. Born February 7, 1955 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey; sold by the Reds to Atlanta on 6/6/85; the back lists him “signed thru 1988”.

Condition Raw, ungraded, and honestly this one shows its age — please read before buying. Centering measured off the white inner photo frame is about 50/50 left to right but roughly 58/42 top to bottom, with the top margin noticeably wider. Corners look sharp and square with no rounding. The issue is the edges: a thin white edge-wear line runs along most of the top edge and parts of the bottom edge, with a small nick or notch on the top edge right of centre — classic black-border chipping for this issue, and the reason this card presents as Excellent rather than Near Mint. Surface is clean with good gloss, no creases and no print lines.

1988 Donruss — and Not the 1984, 1983 or 1989 Puleo

Charlie Puleo has four Donruss cards and they are constantly mixed up in listings. This is 1988 Donruss #537, the blue-and-black striped border design. It is not 1984 Donruss #530, not the 1983 Donruss #128 rookie, and not 1989 Donruss #286. It is also not autographed — signed copies of this card sell for several times an unsigned one.
