Add a terrific regional stadium-giveaway issue to your Juan Samuel collection with this 1993 Kahn's Cincinnati Reds #NNO card, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.
The 1993 Kahn's Cincinnati Reds release was a special 28-card stadium giveaway team set produced for the Reds. Unlike Samuel's nationally distributed Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score and Upper Deck cards, the Kahn's release was a regional promotional issue tied directly to Cincinnati. The set is cataloged with its player cards as #NNO (no number), including Juan Samuel.
Kahn's has a long history of producing promotional baseball cards connected with the Cincinnati Reds, and these team sets have become popular oddball additions for both player and team collectors. The 1993 checklist provides a snapshot of the Reds roster and organization, including Barry Larkin, Chris Sabo, Reggie Sanders, Jose Rijo, Rob Dibble, Kevin Mitchell, Bip Roberts, Hal Morris, Davey Johnson and Juan Samuel.
Samuel's card is especially interesting because 1993 marked his first season with Cincinnati. After beginning the year with the Kansas City Royals, Samuel joined the Reds during the season, and his Cincinnati cards represent another relatively short chapter in a career most closely associated with Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
For collectors building a comprehensive Samuel run, regional issues such as this Kahn's card are particularly appealing because they can easily be overlooked when focusing solely on mainstream releases. COMC catalogs the Samuel issue as 1993 Kahn's Cincinnati Reds #JUSA, another cataloging convention used for this otherwise unnumbered card.
