Add a premium and significantly scarcer version of Juan Samuels 1989 traded-player issue to your collection with this 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany #108T card featuring Samuel with the New York Mets, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
The Topps Traded Tiffany version parallels Samuels regular 1989 Topps Traded #108T but was produced as part of Topps premium Tiffany program. The 132-card set was available only as a complete factory set and features the distinctive high-gloss finish associated with Tiffany issues. Approximately 15,000 sets were produced, a relatively limited production run compared with mainstream baseball-card production of the era.
Samuels #108T documents one of the shortest and most interesting stops of his career. After establishing himself as a star with the Philadelphia Phillies, Samuel was traded to the New York Mets during the 1989 season. His stay in New York lasted only the remainder of that season, making Mets cards an especially distinctive part of a comprehensive Juan Samuel collection.
The Tiffany version adds another level of collectibility to the card. While it shares the same photography and design as the standard Topps Traded issue, its premium glossy surface and limited factory-set distribution distinguish it from the regular #108T. The 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany set is also notable for a strong checklist that includes Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan and Deion Sanders.
