Juan Samuel Autographed 1993 Upper Deck #527 Cincinnati Reds Card

Add a sharp early-1990s Upper Deck issue from Juan Samuels Cincinnati tenure with this 1993 Upper Deck #527 card featuring Samuel with the Cincinnati Reds, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #527 with Cincinnati.

The 1993 Upper Deck set contains 840 cards divided into two 420-card series, with Series One covering #1-420 and Series Two running from #421-840. Samuels #527 is therefore a Series Two issue.

Upper Deck continued to emphasize the premium photography that had distinguished the brand since its 1989 debut. Samuels #527 is particularly well suited to that approach, featuring an action photograph of Samuel sliding headfirst, an appropriate image for a player whose speed and aggressive baserunning were major parts of his game.

The card also documents Samuels move to the Cincinnati Reds during the 1993 season. His earlier 1993 Score #611 and Score Select #237 cards feature him with Kansas City, while later issues such as this Upper Deck #527 and Fleer Ultra #335 show him with Cincinnati. That makes these cards a nice way to follow Samuels team transition through his 1993 releases.

For advanced collectors, #527 also exists as a Gold Hologram factory-set variation. Standard pack-issued cards and cards originating from complete factory sets can therefore provide another variation to pursue within a comprehensive Juan Samuel collection.
