This post is in response to Night Owl's post from today. Lowell Palmer didn't have a Padres card when I found out he played for the Padres in 1974. I made the Padres card for a dealer friend of mine and he asked about the other teams. I found the Yankees and Cleveland photos online and Lowell provided the Cardinals picture, I believe. Palmer was traded from Cleveland to New York for Mike Kekich but played all of 1973 in the minors for both Cleveland and the Yankees.
