Add a distinctive oversized championship-season issue of Lance Parrish with this 1984 Donruss Action All-Stars #34 card featuring the star catcher with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the future World Series champion.
The 1984 Donruss Action All-Stars release stands apart from standard baseball cards of the era with its oversized 3" x 5" format. The compact set contains only 60 cards and was designed around prominent players of the period, with a large action photograph dominating the front. It was the second consecutive year Donruss produced its postcard-sized Action All-Stars set.
Parrish is correctly cataloged as card #34. The star-focused checklist includes names such as Nolan Ryan, Rickey Henderson, Robin Yount, Andre Dawson and Parrish's Tigers teammate Lou Whitaker, making the set an interesting alternative to Donruss' standard-size 1984 release.
Parrish entered 1984 following an outstanding season in which he collected 163 hits, 42 doubles, 27 home runs and a career-high 114 RBI. He was already established as one of baseball's premier offensive and defensive catchers.
The timing makes this Action All-Stars card particularly attractive for Detroit collectors. During the 1984 season, Parrish appeared in 147 games and led the Tigers with 33 home runs and 98 RBI. Detroit dominated from the beginning of the season and ultimately captured the World Series championship.
Parrish played an important role in that championship run. He appeared in all five games of the 1984 World Series against the San Diego Padres, batting .278 with five hits, three runs, a home run and two RBI. His lone World Series homer came in the decisive Game 5 victory that clinched the championship for Detroit.
For a comprehensive Parrish autograph collection, the oversized #34 makes a great companion to his regular 1984 Donruss #49 and #15 Diamond King, while offering a completely different format and presentation.
