Juan Samuel Autographed 1990 Topps #85 New York Mets Card

Add another great short-tenure team issue to your Juan Samuel collection with this 1990 Topps #85 card featuring Samuel with the New York Mets, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.

Samuel is correctly featured as a New York Met on card #85 in the 792-card 1990 Topps set. The card uses an action photograph showing Samuel taking a lead, making it a fitting image for a player whose speed was such an important part of his game.

Although released in 1990, the card captures Samuel during his brief stay with the Mets in 1989. Philadelphia traded Samuel to New York in June 1989 in the notable deal that brought Lenny Dykstra and Roger McDowell to the Phillies. Samuel appeared in only 86 games for New York before being dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers that December, making Mets-specific Samuel cards an interesting part of a comprehensive player collection.

The 1990 Topps design is instantly recognizable for its colorful, almost paint-splatter-style borders that make the set stand apart from Topps releases immediately before and after it. Samuel's #85 provides collectors with a mainstream Topps card documenting one of the shortest team stops of his 16-year Major League career.

For collectors who enjoy parallels and variations, Topps also produced a Tiffany version of Samuel #85, giving this standard issue a natural companion card in a more advanced Samuel autograph run.
