Juan Samuel Autographed 1991 Nobody Beats the Wiz New York Mets #342 Card

Add one of the more unusual Juan Samuel regional issues to your collection with this 1991 Nobody Beats the Wiz New York Mets #342 card, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.

The 1991 Nobody Beats the Wiz New York Mets release is a fascinating team-history issue that differs considerably from Samuel's mainstream cards of the period. Rather than focusing solely on the current 1991 roster, the expansive checklist includes hundreds of players from Mets history, allowing former Mets such as Samuel to appear even though they were no longer with the organization when the set was issued. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #342, immediately following Amado Samuel #341 on the checklist.

This makes #342 especially interesting within Samuel's card run. He played for the Mets only during the 1989 season, yet the 1991 Wiz set brought him back as part of its celebration of New York Mets players. By 1991, Samuel was playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers and earning the third All-Star selection of his career, so this is one of the relatively few later-issued cards that continued to associate him with New York. Baseball Almanac specifically catalogs the issue as 1991 Wiz Mets #342.

The set is also notable for its depth. Samuel's portion of the checklist sits among former Mets including Nolan Ryan, Ray Sadecki, Rafael Santana, Mike Scott and Tom Seaver, illustrating how broadly the release reached into franchise history rather than simply reproducing a contemporary team roster.
