Juan Samuel Autographed 1996 Fleer Update #U103 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Add an important late-career team-change issue to your Juan Samuel collection with this 1996 Fleer Update #U103 card featuring Samuel with the Toronto Blue Jays, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #U103 with Toronto.

The 1996 Fleer Update set contains 250 cards issued in a single series. The release was designed to update Fleer's regular 1996 set with players who had changed teams, rookies and other players who warranted inclusion later in the season. Cards were distributed in 11-card packs, rather than exclusively as a factory set as Fleer had done with some earlier Update releases.

The design continues the unusual approach Fleer introduced with its regular 1996 set. The cards feature color action photography and a matte-finish surface, while the backs provide complete career statistics along with a Did You Know? fact about the featured player.

Samuel's #U103 is particularly interesting within his extensive card run because it documents the final team of his 16-year Major League playing career. After appearing with Kansas City on his regular 1996 Fleer #137, the Update release depicts him with the Toronto Blue Jays, where Samuel finished his Major League career in 1996.

For collectors building a deeper Samuel run, Fleer also produced a Tiffany parallel of #U103. One Tiffany card was inserted into each 1996 Fleer Update pack, providing a glossy counterpart to the matte-finished base card. Samuel #U103 is confirmed in both versions.
