Add an excellent early minor league issue of Bruce Fields with this 1987 ProCards #1967 Toledo Mud Hens card, personally autographed by the future Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners outfielder. Beckett confirms Fields as card #1967 in the 1987 Toledo Mud Hens ProCards set.
The card captures Fields during his time with the Toledo Mud Hens, the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. It followed his outstanding 1986 season with the Nashville Sounds, when Fields hit .368 and earned his first promotion to the Major Leagues with Detroit.
This ProCards issue is particularly appealing for a comprehensive Fields collection because it was released alongside his first major-brand cards. His 1987 Donruss #47 and 1987 Leaf #47 Rated Rookies are both famous for mistakenly picturing Darnell Coles, while the 1987 ProCards #1967 actually features Fields himself. That makes it a nice companion pieceand in some ways a better representation of Fields during this stage of his career.
The 1987 season also produced multiple minor league Fields cards. In addition to this ProCards issue, he appears on the 1987 TCMA Toledo Mud Hens #9 and 1987 TCMA International League All-Stars #14, providing several interesting options for collectors pursuing his deeper minor league card run.
