Own an autographed 1987 Topps #255 baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring the dynamic second baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies. This classic Topps flagship issue captures Samuel during the prime of his Phillies career and comes from one of the most recognizable baseball card sets of the 1980s.
The 1987 Topps baseball set is a 792-card flagship release instantly recognizable for its distinctive woodgrain-style borders, a design inspired by the classic 1962 Topps set. Featuring the stars, rookies, and fan favorites of the era, 1987 Topps remains one of the decade's most recognizable and widely collected releases. Card #255 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 combination of power, speed, and extra-base ability earned him his second National League All-Star selection and made him one of the most productive middle infielders in baseball.
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 Topps #255 combines a classic woodgrain Topps design with the autograph of one of the Phillies' most dynamic players of the 1980s.
