Lance Parrish Autographed 1982 Donruss #281 Detroit Tigers Card

Add a classic early-1980s issue of one of baseball's premier power-hitting catchers with this 1982 Donruss #281 Lance Parrish card featuring him with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the future World Series champion.

The 1982 Donruss #281 comes from just the second year of Donruss baseball production and follows Parrish's first Donruss appearance in the landmark 1981 set. It captures the Tigers catcher just as he was entering the most productive stretch of his career.

Parrish had already earned his first All-Star selection and Silver Slugger Award in 1980, but 1982 marked another major step forward. He appeared in 133 games for Detroit and batted an impressive .284 with 138 hits, 19 doubles, 32 home runs and 87 RBI, while posting a .529 slugging percentage and .867 OPS.

His 32 home runs led the Tigers and established a new career high at the time. Parrish's performance earned him his second American League All-Star selection and second Silver Slugger Award, and he finished 13th in American League MVP voting. His 5.0 WAR also ranked among the best marks of his career.

The card therefore represents Parrish during an important season in his development into one of the defining catchers of the 1980s. He followed his 1982 performance with another All-Star and Silver Slugger season in 1983 before helping Detroit reach the pinnacle in 1984 as the Tigers captured the World Series championship.

Parrish ultimately finished his 19-year Major League career with 1,782 hits, 324 home runs and 1,070 RBI. His combination of power, durability and defense made him one of the most accomplished catchers of his era.
