Add a sharp early-1990s Upper Deck issue from Juan Samuels All-Star season to your collection with this 1991 Upper Deck #117 card featuring Samuel with the Los Angeles Dodgers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #117 in the set.
The 1991 Upper Deck release was the companys third flagship baseball set and continued the premium presentation that had helped Upper Deck transform the hobby beginning in 1989. The set contains 800 cards, with #1-700 comprising the Low Series and #701-800 making up the High Series. Samuels #117 therefore comes from the original Low Series.
Upper Deck remained known for its photography and production quality, and the 1991 cards feature slick card stock, crisp full-color photography, full-color backs and the companys anti-counterfeiting hologram. The clean white-bordered design gives Samuels autograph plenty of visual presence while maintaining the premium look associated with early Upper Deck releases.
This card was issued during one of the highlights of Samuels Dodgers tenure. In 1991, he earned his third career MLB All-Star selection and his only All-Star appearance with Los Angeles, making #117 a particularly fitting card from this stage of his career.
The 1991 Upper Deck set is also remembered for a strong rookie checklist that includes Chipper Jones, Mike Mussina, Jeff Bagwell, Luis Gonzalez and Eric Karros, as well as the famous Michael Jordan SP1 card randomly inserted into packs.
