Add a more distinctive parallel from the final stage of Juan Samuels playing career with this 1996 Fleer Tiffany #137 card featuring Samuel with the Kansas City Royals, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Beckett specifically catalogs Samuel as 1996 Fleer Tiffany #137 with Kansas City.
The 1996 Fleer Tiffany set is a complete 600-card parallel of the regular 1996 Fleer release. While the standard cards were intentionally produced with an unusual matte surface, the Tiffany parallels received a special glossy UV coating that gives them a noticeably more premium appearance.
Fleer also changed the front detailing for the Tiffany cards. The regular 1996 Fleer issue uses gold-foil lettering, while the standard Tiffany parallel features silver holographic foil for the player's nameplate. This combination of the glossy surface and holographic foil makes the Tiffany #137 immediately distinguishable from Samuel's regular Fleer #137.
Unlike traditional Tiffany sets that were often sold as complete premium factory sets, the 1996 Fleer Tiffany cards were inserted one per regular pack. Every one of the 600 base cards received a Tiffany counterpart, giving collectors a complete parallel checklist to pursue.
Samuel's #137 falls within the Kansas City portion of the checklist, between Jon Nunnally #136 and Mike Sweeney #138. His Royals cards represent a relatively brief late-career chapter, making the Tiffany parallel especially appealing for collectors building a deep Juan Samuel autograph run.
