Juan Samuel Autographed 1989 Fleer #581 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Own an autographed 1989 Fleer #581 baseball card personally signed by Juan Samuel, featuring the dynamic second baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies. This classic Fleer flagship issue comes from Samuel's final season with Philadelphia and captures one of the club's most exciting players of the 1980s near the conclusion of his original Phillies tenure.

The 1989 Fleer baseball set is a 660-card release featuring the stars, rookies, and fan favorites of the era. Recognizable for its distinctive gray-bordered design with red, white, and blue accents, the set remains a popular release among collectors of late-1980s baseball cards. Card #581 features Juan Samuel with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Samuel burst onto the Major League scene during his first full season in 1984, batting .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. The outstanding campaign earned Samuel his first MLB All-Star selection and a second-place finish in National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Samuel continued to demonstrate his exceptional combination of speed and extra-base power throughout his Phillies career. He again led the National League in triples in 1985, and in 1987 enjoyed one of his finest seasons, batting .272 with career highs of 28 home runs and 100 RBIs, along with 15 triples and 35 stolen bases. That performance earned him his second All-Star selection.

The 1989 season marked the end of Samuel's original tenure with Philadelphia. In June, the Phillies traded him to the New York Mets in the notable deal that brought Lenny Dykstra and Roger McDowell to Philadelphia, a transaction that would have a lasting impact on the Phillies.

Samuel continued his career with several organizations and earned his third MLB All-Star selection with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1991. Over 16 Major League seasons, he accumulated 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.

Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1989 Fleer #581 is an excellent flagship collectible from the final season of his original run with the Philadelphia Phillies.
