Add a classic early-1990s Bowman issue to your collection with this 1991 Bowman #596 Juan Samuel card featuring Samuel with the Los Angeles Dodgers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
The 1991 Bowman set contains 704 cards and continued Bowman's renewed emphasis on prospects and young players while also featuring established Major League stars. The cards use a clean design with white borders surrounding full-color photography, with the player's name displayed prominently along the bottom. Cards were arranged primarily by team and division and were available in both wax packs and factory sets.
Samuel appears as card #596 in the Dodgers portion of the checklist, surrounded by teammates including Orel Hershiser, Brett Butler, Gary Carter, Darryl Strawberry, Mike Scioscia and Eddie Murray.
The card comes from an especially collector-friendly Bowman release. The 1991 checklist is well known for an unusually strong rookie class that includes Chipper Jones, Jeff Bagwell, Jim Thome, Mike Mussina, Ivan Rodriguez, Kenny Lofton and Raul Mondesi, giving the set lasting hobby recognition beyond its established-star cards.
Samuel was coming off his first full season with Los Angeles and would enjoy one of his strongest Dodgers seasons in 1991, batting .271 with 161 hits, 12 home runs, 58 RBI and 23 stolen bases while earning the third All-Star selection of his career. That makes this Bowman issue a particularly fitting card from the peak of his Dodgers tenure.
