Add an excellent updated-team issue to your Juan Samuel collection with this 1990 Fleer Update #U-25 card featuring Samuel with the Los Angeles Dodgers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
The 1990 Fleer Update set was Fleers end-of-season companion to its regular 1990 release. The 132-card set was distributed exclusively as a boxed set through hobby dealers, with the cards carrying a U prefix to distinguish them from the regular Fleer checklist. The fronts retained the same basic styling as the standard 1990 Fleer set.
Samuel is card #U-25 and is correctly featured with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This makes the card especially useful in a Samuel player run because his regular 1990 Fleer #215 still depicts him with the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Update issue reflects his move to Los Angeles.
Samuel joined the Dodgers for the 1990 season after spending the second half of 1989 with the New York Mets. Los Angeles became much more than a brief stop: Samuel remained with the Dodgers through part of 1992 and earned his third career All-Star selection in 1991. As a result, the Fleer Update #U-25 serves as a nice early card from the Dodgers chapter of his career.
The set itself has also developed some additional collector interest because its rookie checklist includes Frank Thomas, John Olerud, Travis Fryman and Todd Hundley, giving the 1990 Fleer Update boxed set more significance than many of the mass-produced releases from the period.
