Juan Samuel Autographed 1990 Topps Major League Leaders Minis #68 New York Mets Card

Add a distinctive mini-format issue from Juan Samuels brief New York tenure with this 1990 Topps Major League Leaders Minis #68 card featuring Samuel with the New York Mets, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.

The 1990 Topps Major League Leaders Minis set consists of 88 cards measuring approximately 2 1/8" x 3", noticeably smaller than a standard baseball card. The cards feature a design similar to the regular 1990 Topps set but were printed on glossy white card stock. They were distributed in seven-card packs, and 1990 marked the final year of Topps' five-year Mini Leaders series.

Samuel appears as card #68 and is correctly featured with the New York Mets. The checklist places him among a run of Mets players that includes David Cone, Sid Fernandez and Howard Johnson.

The card reflects Samuel's brief but interesting 1989 tenure with New York. His speed remained a major part of his game during his short stay with the Mets, making his inclusion in a set devoted to the previous season's statistical leaders particularly appropriate. By the time these cards were issued in 1990, Samuel had already moved on to the Los Angeles Dodgers, making the #68 another nice example of a card preserving his short-lived Mets chapter.

This issue is also a natural companion to Samuel's 1989 Topps Major League Leaders Minis #29 Phillies card, allowing player collectors to follow his transition from Philadelphia to New York through consecutive editions of Topps' Mini Leaders series.
