The 1982 Fleer David Rozema #279 card captures the Detroit Tigers pitcher during a defining era of baseball card production. Fleer's 1982 release marked a significant moment in the hobby, offering collectors a fresh alternative design to the dominant Topps brand of the period. Rozema, a right-handed pitcher for Detroit, appears on this standard base card as part of the complete 660-card set that Fleer produced that year. This card appeals to vintage baseball collectors building 1982 Fleer sets, Tigers team collectors, and those seeking authentic early-1980s cardboard. The design reflects the aesthetic of its era—simple yet distinctive typography, clean borders, and photography that captures the sport's character during that decade. Collectors value 1982 Fleer issues for their historical significance in breaking Topps' monopoly and for the set's overall availability and affordability relative to earlier vintage releases. Whether you're completing a 1982 Fleer run, assembling a Tigers collection, or exploring early-80s baseball card history, the Rozema #279 represents an accessible entry point into that set's catalog. SuperCatch offers copies of this card to suit various collecting goals and budget levels.

The 1982 Fleer David Rozema sits firmly in the entry-level tier of vintage Tigers team sets, reflecting his role as a solid but non-marquee rotation piece during Detroit's early '80s rebuilding era. Cards from this set in raw, ungraded condition trade at minimal premiums, as the 1982 Fleer issue was widely distributed and remains abundant in the secondary market. Collector interest is largely driven by team set builders and vintage Fleer enthusiasts rather than player-specific demand.
This is a standard base card from the 1982 Fleer set, carrying no serial numbering, parallel designation, or short-print distinction, placing it among the most common card types in the hobby. Population reports for graded examples are thin, as submitting this card for professional grading is rarely cost-justified given the low market ceiling. The single active listing reflects the card's limited trading volume rather than any scarcity-driven demand.
Rozema had a respectable but brief MLB career, retiring in 1986 without the statistical profile or cultural cachet that typically sustains long-term collector interest. There is no meaningful grading submission trend for this card, and it does not benefit from a rookie card premium or Hall of Fame narrative to drive appreciation. Collectors targeting this card are primarily team set completionists, making broad market momentum unlikely in the foreseeable future.
