Own an autographed 1988 Fleer #314 baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring the dynamic second baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies. This classic Fleer issue captures Samuel during the prime of his Phillies career, following an outstanding 1987 season in which he established career highs in home runs and RBIs and earned his second MLB All-Star selection.
The 1988 Fleer baseball set is a 660-card release featuring the stars, rookies, and fan favorites of the era. Recognizable for its clean white background, blue-and-red border accents, and distinctive Fleer styling, the set remains a popular release among collectors of late-1980s baseball cards. Card #314 features Juan Samuel with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Samuel entered the 1988 season coming off one of the finest years of his career. In 1987, he batted .272 with 28 home runs, 100 RBIs, 15 triples, and 35 stolen bases, setting career highs in both home runs and RBIs. His outstanding combination of power, speed, and extra-base ability earned him his second National League All-Star selection.
Samuel had established himself as one of baseball's most exciting players almost immediately after becoming Philadelphia's regular second baseman in 1984. During his first full Major League season, he stole 72 bases and led the National League with 19 triples, earning his first All-Star selection and finishing second in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He again led the league in triples in 1985.
In 1988, Samuel continued to provide Philadelphia with a dangerous combination of speed and power, hitting 12 home runs, collecting 36 doubles, and stealing 33 bases. His ability to produce extra-base hits while creating havoc on the bases made him one of the most distinctive offensive middle infielders of his era.
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 1988 Fleer #314 is an outstanding collectible featuring one of the Phillies' most exciting players of the 1980s on a classic Fleer flagship issue.
