Juan Samuel Autographed 1988 Donruss #576 Philadelphia Phillies ERROR Card

Own an autographed 1988 Donruss #576 Steve Jeltz ERROR baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring one of the more interesting player-photo errors from the 1988 Donruss set. Although #576 is a Steve Jeltz card, the error version mistakenly pictures Juan Samuel on the front, and this example has been appropriately autographed by Samuelthe player actually shown on the card.

The 1988 Donruss baseball set is a 660-card release featuring the stars, rookies, and fan favorites of the era. The set also contains a number of variations and corrected errors that have become particularly interesting to collectors seeking something beyond the standard base cards.

Card #576 was intended to feature Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Steve Jeltz, but the original error version was produced using a photograph of Juan Samuel. Donruss subsequently corrected the card with the proper image of Jeltz, creating two distinctly different versions of #576.

This example is the desirable ERROR version picturing Juan Samuel. Adding Samuel's autograph makes the card particularly appropriate and unusual: the name and information belong to Steve Jeltz, while the photographand the autographbelong to Juan Samuel.

Samuel was one of the most dynamic players of the 1980s Phillies. In his first full Major League season in 1984, he batted .272 with 15 home runs, 19 triples, and 72 stolen bases, earning his first All-Star selection and finishing second in National League Rookie of the Year voting.

His outstanding 1987 season included career highs of 28 home runs and 100 RBIs, along with 15 triples and 35 stolen bases, earning Samuel his second All-Star selection. A three-time MLB All-Star, Samuel finished his 16-year Major League career with 1,578 hits, 161 home runs, 396 stolen bases, and 102 triples.

Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1988 Donruss #576 Steve Jeltz ERROR is an especially interesting autograph variation because Samuel signed the card on which he was mistakenly pictured. It is an excellent conversation piece and a great addition to a comprehensive Samuel, Phillies, Donruss, or error-card collection.
