These specialty cards provided collectors with additional issues of the game's stars and remain appealing to player collectors assembling comprehensive career runs. Card #35 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 rare combination of power, speed, and extra-base ability earned him his second National League All-Star selection.
Samuel had been one of baseball's premier speed threats since 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 and remained one of the National League's most dangerous players throughout the decade.
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. His combination of speed and power made him one of the most exciting Phillies players of the 1980s. Samuel later returned to the organization as a coach, extending his association with Philadelphia well beyond his playing career.
Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1988 Fleer Baseball All-Stars #35 is an outstanding specialty issue celebrating one of the Phillies' signature players of the era.
