Add a premium early-1990s Fleer issue from Juan Samuels Cincinnati Reds tenure with this 1993 Fleer Ultra #335 card, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
The 1993 Fleer Ultra set continued Fleers premium Ultra brand with a large 650-card checklist issued in two series. Series One contained cards #1-300, while the expanded 350-card Series Two covered #301-650. Samuels #335 is therefore a Series Two issue.
Samuel is correctly featured as a member of the Cincinnati Reds on card #335, appearing between John Roper #334 and John Smiley #336 in the Series Two checklist. This later-series placement is especially appropriate because Series Two incorporated traded veterans and other players who were not included in the first series, allowing Fleer to update Samuel to Cincinnati after his move from Kansas City.
Ultra maintained its more upscale presentation compared with the standard Fleer line, with glossy card stock, full-color photography and gold-foil accents giving the release a premium early-1990s appearance. The 1993 set closely followed the successful 1992 Ultra format while changing the color scheme.
Samuels Cincinnati cards represent a comparatively brief chapter of his 16-year Major League career. That makes issues such as this #335 especially appealing for a comprehensive player collection alongside his much larger runs of Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers cards.
