Doug DeCinces Autographed 1987 Donruss Opening Day #1 California Angels Card

Featuring Doug DeCinces with the California Angels, this Doug DeCinces autographed 1987 Donruss Opening Day #1 California Angels card comes from the inaugural Donruss Opening Day set. The 1987 release was built around players who appeared in their teams' Opening Day lineups, giving the issue a distinct identity from the regular 1987 Donruss set.

DeCinces joined the Angels in 1982 after spending his first nine Major League seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. He immediately produced one of the finest seasons of his career, batting .301 with 30 home runs and 97 RBI while earning a Silver Slugger Award and finishing third in American League MVP voting. California captured the AL West title that season.

He remained a key part of the Angels lineup throughout the mid-1980s. In 1986, DeCinces earned his lone All-Star selection while hitting 26 home runs and driving in 96 runs as California again won the AL West and advanced to the American League Championship Series.

DeCinces played his final games with California in 1987 before finishing his Major League career with the St. Louis Cardinals later that season. Over 15 MLB seasons, he collected 1,505 hits, 237 home runs and 879 RBI, establishing himself as one of the productive third basemen of his era.

As card #1 in the inaugural Opening Day set and an issue from DeCinces' final season with the Angels, the 1987 Donruss Opening Day #1 is an appealing addition for Angels collectors, Doug DeCinces fans, Donruss Opening Day set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
