Own an autographed 1988 Topps Tiffany #398 baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring the dynamic second baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies.

The 1988 Topps Tiffany set parallels the complete 792-card 1988 Topps flagship checklist but was issued exclusively as a premium factory set in significantly smaller quantities than the standard release. Tiffany cards are distinguished by their high-gloss fronts, bright white card stock, and enhanced printing quality, giving them a noticeably more premium appearance. These limited-production issues have become particularly popular with player collectors seeking scarcer versions of familiar Topps cards. Card #398 features Juan Samuel with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Samuel entered 1988 following one of the finest seasons of his career. In 1987, he batted .272 with career highs of 28 home runs and 100 RBIs, while adding 15 triples and 35 stolen bases. His exceptional 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 during his first full Major League season in 1984. 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 All-Star selection and finished second in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He again led the National League in triples in 1985.

During 1988, Samuel continued to provide Philadelphia with a dangerous combination of speed and extra-base ability, collecting 36 doubles, 12 home runs, and 33 stolen bases. His rare blend of power and speed 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, continuing his long association with Philadelphia beyond his playing career.

Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1988 Topps Tiffany #398 combines a premium, limited-production Topps issue with the autograph of one of the Phillies' most dynamic players of the 1980s.
