Juan Samuel Autographed 1987 Leaf #132 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Own an autographed 1987 Leaf #132 baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring the dynamic second baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies. This distinctive Canadian Leaf issue captures Samuel during the prime of his career and offers collectors an appealing alternative to his regular 1987 Donruss card.

The 1987 Leaf baseball set is a 264-card Canadian release featuring a condensed selection of players from the larger 1987 Donruss set. Produced in significantly smaller quantities than its Donruss counterpart, Leaf cards have long been popular with player collectors and collectors seeking scarcer variations of familiar 1980s designs. Card #132 features Juan Samuel with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Samuel established himself as one of baseball's most exciting players after becoming Philadelphia's regular second baseman in 1984. During his first full Major League season, he batted .272 with 15 home runs, 69 RBIs, 19 triples, and 72 stolen bases. His 72 steals established a Phillies single-season record at the time, while his 19 triples led the National League. Samuel earned his first MLB All-Star selection and finished second in National League Rookie of the Year voting.

The 1987 season became one of Samuel's finest. He batted .272 with career highs of 28 home runs and 100 RBIs, while adding 15 triples and 35 stolen bases. His outstanding combination of power and speed earned him his second National League All-Star selection and further established him as one of the league's most dangerous offensive middle infielders.

A three-time MLB All-Star, Samuel enjoyed a 16-year Major League career and finished with 1,578 hits, 161 home runs, 396 stolen bases, and 102 triples. He later returned to the Phillies organization as a coach, extending his association with Philadelphia well beyond his playing career.

Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1987 Leaf #132 combines a scarcer Canadian issue with the autograph of one of the Phillies' most exciting players of the 1980s.
