George Bell Autographed 1987 Topps #106 Toronto Blue Jays Leaders

Featuring George Bell with the Toronto Blue Jays, this George Bell autographed 1987 Topps #106 Toronto Blue Jays Leaders card comes from the team leaders portion of the classic 1987 Topps set. Bell was emerging as one of the American League's premier power hitters and would deliver the greatest individual season of his career in 1987.

Originally signed by the Philadelphia Phillies, Bell joined Toronto after being selected in the 1980 Rule 5 Draft. He made his Major League debut with the Blue Jays in 1981 and developed into a middle-of-the-order force, hitting .292 with 26 home runs and 87 RBI in 1984.

Bell helped Toronto reach the postseason for the first time in franchise history in 1985, batting .275 with 28 home runs and 95 RBI as the Blue Jays won 99 games and captured the American League East championship.

His signature season came in 1987, when Bell batted .308 with 188 hits, 32 doubles, 47 home runs and 134 RBI. His 47 homers established a career high, while his 134 RBI led the American League. Bell was named the American League Most Valuable Player, becoming the first Blue Jays player to win the award.

Bell earned three consecutive All-Star selections from 1987 through 1989 and won three Silver Slugger Awards during his career. He finished 12 Major League seasons with 1,702 hits, 265 home runs and 1,002 RBI. The 1987 Topps #106 Blue Jays Leaders is an appealing addition for Toronto collectors, George Bell fans, MVP collections, 1980s Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
