Add a classic flagship Topps issue from the final season of Juan Samuels Dodgers tenure with this 1992 Topps #315 card featuring Samuel with the Los Angeles Dodgers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #315 with Los Angeles.
The 1992 Topps set contains 792 cards and introduced a noticeably cleaner look than the company's 1991 anniversary release. The cards feature large full-color player photography framed by white borders, with the player's name and team identification incorporated into the colorful lower portion of the design.
Samuels #315 comes from the final season of his tenure with Los Angeles. His time with the Dodgers included one of the highlights of his career when he earned his third MLB All-Star selection in 1991, his only All-Star appearance as a Dodger.
The card is also particularly interesting within a comprehensive Samuel collection because 1992 marked a major change in Topps' approach to parallels. Topps discontinued its Tiffany sets after 1991 and introduced the Topps Gold parallel in 1992. Samuel #315 was included in the Gold checklist, giving collectors a premium gold-foil counterpart to this standard card.
There is even a second parallel to pursue: the Topps Gold Winner #315, which resembles the Gold version but adds a Winner designation on the front. Gold Winner cards were obtained through Topps' Match the Stats promotion, creating three distinct versions of Samuel #315 for player collectorsthe regular Topps, Topps Gold and Topps Gold Winner.
