Juan Samuel Autographed 1995 Pacific Crown Collection #159 Detroit Tigers Card

Add a colorful mid-1990s Pacific issue to your collection with this 1995 Pacific Crown Collection #159 Juan Samuel card featuring Samuel with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star.

The 1995 Pacific Crown Collection continued Pacifics distinctive approach to baseball cards, offering collectors a product that stood apart from the more traditional Topps, Fleer, Donruss and Upper Deck releases of the period. Pacific was particularly well known for its colorful designs, glossy presentation and bilingual English/Spanish information, an element that became one of the company's trademarks during the 1990s.

Samuel is featured with the Detroit Tigers, where he enjoyed a surprisingly productive stretch late in his career. After joining Detroit in 1994, Samuel batted .309 with five home runs in just 136 at-bats, posting a .923 OPS during the strike-shortened season.

He followed that performance with another strong showing for Detroit in 1995. In 76 games with the Tigers, Samuel hit .281 with 10 home runs, 34 RBI and a .902 OPS before finishing the season with Kansas City. Those 10 home runs were particularly impressive considering he accumulated only 171 at-bats with Detroit.

Samuel's late-career versatility was also on display during this period. Once best known as an All-Star second baseman with Philadelphia, he saw substantial action at first base in 1995 while also appearing at second base, left field and designated hitter for Detroit.

For a comprehensive Juan Samuel collection, this Pacific issue represents an interesting stage of his career when the former speed-oriented All-Star had evolved into a versatile veteran who was still capable of providing considerable extra-base power.
