Lance Parrish Autographed 1987 Topps - 1986 All-Star Game Commemorative Set (Glossy All-Stars) #20 Detroit Tigers Card

Add a distinctive rack-pack-exclusive All-Star issue of Lance Parrish with this 1987 Topps 1986 All-Star Game Commemorative Set Glossy All-Stars #20 card featuring him with the Detroit Tigers, personally autographed by the eight-time Major League All-Star and 1984 World Series champion.

The 1987 Topps Glossy All-Stars were a special 22-card insert set commemorating the 1986 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Parrish is correctly cataloged as #20, appearing between Kirby Puckett #19 and Roger Clemens #21. The checklist is exceptionally strong, also featuring Mike Schmidt, Ryne Sandberg, Tony Gwynn, Gary Carter, Wade Boggs, Cal Ripken Jr., Rickey Henderson and other stars of the era.

Unlike the separate Topps Glossy Send-In cards, these Glossy All-Stars were inserted into 1987 Topps rack packs, making them a distinctly different collectible within the Topps product line. Contemporary hobby listings commonly identify the issue as the Rack Pack Glossy All-Stars set.

Parrish's inclusion commemorates his selection to the 1986 American League All-Star team, his fifth consecutive All-Star appearance. Despite being limited by injuries to only 91 games that season, Parrish still hit 22 home runs with 62 RBI, demonstrating the exceptional power that made him one of baseball's premier offensive catchers.

The card also captures the very end of Parrish's original Detroit tenure. He left the Tigers following the 1986 season and joined the Philadelphia Phillies for 1987, but this commemorative issue appropriately continues to feature him with Detroit, the team he represented in the 1986 All-Star Game.

For a comprehensive Parrish autograph collection, this is a particularly nice companion to his 1987 Topps #613 All-Star card, #791 regular card and #94T Topps Traded Phillies card. Together, those issues document both his final accomplishments with Detroit and his transition to Philadelphia.

Parrish ultimately completed a 19-year Major League career as an eight-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner and six-time Silver Slugger winner, finishing with 324 home runs and 1,070 RBI.
