Juan Samuel Autographed 1996 Pacific Crown Collection #323 Detroit Tigers Card

Add another distinctive Pacific issue from the latter portion of Juan Samuels career with this 1996 Pacific Crown Collection #323 card featuring Samuel with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the three-time MLB All-Star. Samuel is correctly cataloged as card #323 in the 1996 Pacific Crown Collection.

The 1996 Pacific Crown Collection contains 450 cards and continued Pacifics distinctive approach to baseball-card design. The cards feature full-bleed color photography, a high-gloss finish and gold-foil accents, giving the set a noticeably upscale appearance. The backs include an additional player portrait and information presented in both English and Spanish, a trademark of Pacifics baseball releases.

Samuels #323 appears in an interesting spot in the checklist. It immediately follows fellow Tigers Cecil Fielder #321 and Felipe Lira #322 and precedes a run of Kansas City Royals beginning with Bob Hamelin #324.

There is an interesting wrinkle with the team designation on this card. Beckett catalogs 1996 Pacific #323 as a Kansas City Royals card, while the checklist placement puts Samuel directly within the Detroit Tigers sequence. Given that discrepancyand because Samuel played for both Detroit and Kansas City during 1995this is one where the actual uniform/team identification visible on your card is worth prioritizing when listing it.

The Crown Collection also included a variety of colorful inserts that helped establish Pacifics identity during the 1990s, including Cramers Choice, Estrellas Latinas, Gold Crown Die Cuts, Hometown of the Players, Milestones and October Moments.
