Lance Parrish Autographed 1981 Donruss #366 Detroit Tigers Card

Add an important first-year Donruss issue of one of the premier catchers of the 1980s with this 1981 Donruss #366 Lance Parrish card featuring him with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the future eight-time Major League All-Star.

The 1981 Donruss set holds an important place in hobby history as Donruss entered the mainstream baseball card market alongside Fleer, breaking the long-standing Topps monopoly. That makes Parrish's #366 his first Donruss card and an appealing early issue for collectors building a comprehensive run of the Tigers star.

The card was produced immediately following Parrish's breakout 1980 season. At just 24 years old, he appeared in 144 games for Detroit and batted .286 with 158 hits, 34 doubles, six triples, 24 home runs and 82 RBI. His combination of power and durability behind the plate established him as one of baseball's emerging stars.

That performance earned Parrish his first American League All-Star selection and the first Silver Slugger Award of his career. The Silver Slugger would prove to be the beginning of an impressive run, as Parrish ultimately captured six of the awards during his career.

Parrish remained Detroit's primary catcher during the strike-shortened 1981 season, appearing in 96 games with 18 doubles, 10 home runs and 46 RBI. Over the next several seasons, he developed into a cornerstone of the talented Tigers club being assembled around Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris and Kirk Gibson.

That core reached its peak in 1984, when Detroit captured the World Series championship. Parrish led the Tigers with 33 home runs and 98 RBI, started the All-Star Game, won both the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards and homered in the decisive Game 5 of the World Series.
