Lance Parrish Autographed 1984 Topps - 1984 All-Star Set Collector's Edition (Glossy Send-Ins) #2 Detroit Tigers Card

Add a distinctive mail-away issue from the Detroit Tigers' championship season with this 1984 Topps All-Star Set Collector's Edition Glossy Send-Ins #2 Lance Parrish card, personally autographed by the eight-time All-Star catcher and key member of the 1984 World Series Champion Detroit Tigers.

This is not Parrish's standard 1984 Topps #640 card. The 1984 Topps Glossy Send-Ins were a special collector mail-away release tied to the All-Star Baseball Game cards found in regular Topps packs. Collectors accumulated 25 bonus runs and redeemed them to receive a five-card pack. There were eight different five-card groups, creating a complete 40-card set.

Parrish is correctly cataloged as card #2, immediately following Pete Rose at #1. The compact checklist featured 20 American League and 20 National League stars and included names such as Rickey Henderson, Wade Boggs, Gary Carter, Jack Morris, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Rod Carew, Steve Carlton, Darryl Strawberry, Robin Yount and Mike Schmidt.

The cards were produced in standard baseball-card dimensions but featured the distinctive glossy treatment that separated them from the regular Topps release. Examples are known on both white and light gray card stock, adding another interesting production detail for collectors.

Parrish was an ideal choice for the star-focused set. He entered 1984 after an outstanding 1983 campaign in which he collected 163 hits, 42 doubles, 27 home runs and a career-high 114 RBI, earning All-Star, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger honors.

The year printed on this card would become even more significant. Parrish helped lead Detroit through its unforgettable 1984 championship season, pacing the Tigers with 33 home runs and 98 RBI. He again earned All-Star, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger honors as Detroit won 104 regular-season games and ultimately captured the World Series.

Parrish also homered in the decisive Game 5 of the 1984 World Series against the San Diego Padres, making this special mail-away card a particularly fitting signed collectible from his championship season.
