Add an interesting short-tenure team issue to your collection with this 1990 Fleer #215 Juan Samuel card featuring Samuel with the New York Mets, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
Although issued as part of the 1990 Fleer set, card #215 depicts Samuel with the Mets, preserving his brief stay in New York during the second half of the 1989 season. The card is officially cataloged as a New York Mets issue and shows Samuel in a posed portrait.
Samuel's Mets tenure is one of the more interesting chapters of his career. Philadelphia traded him to New York on June 18, 1989, receiving Lenny Dykstra, Roger McDowell and later Tom Edens in return. Samuel spent only the remainder of the 1989 season with New York before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on December 20, 1989, for Mike Marshall and Alejandro Pea.
That short stay makes the 1990 Fleer #215 particularly appealing within a comprehensive Samuel collection. While several of his 1990 releases already show him with Los Angeles, this Fleer card remains tied to his brief Mets period, creating a nice snapshot of a rapidly changing portion of his career.
