Lance Parrish Autographed 1989 Topps #470 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Add a classic Topps flagship carryover issue from the conclusion of Lance Parrish's Philadelphia Phillies tenure with this 1989 Topps #470, personally autographed by the eight-time Major League All-Star and 1984 World Series champion.

The 1989 Topps #470 features Parrish with the Philadelphia Phillies, the team he played for during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. By the time the 1989 season began, Parrish had moved to the California Angels, making this an interesting transitional card that captures the final chapter of his brief Philadelphia stay. Parrish's career record confirms the move from Philadelphia in 1988 to California in 1989.

Parrish's final season with the Phillies produced another major career accomplishment. In 1988 he was selected to the National League All-Star team, his eighth career All-Star selection. After earning his previous selections with Detroit in the American League, the honor gave Parrish All-Star recognition in both leagues.

During that 1988 season, Parrish appeared in 123 games, collecting 91 hits, 17 doubles and two triples while hitting 15 home runs with 60 RBI. He remained Philadelphia's primary catcher, appearing in 117 games behind the plate and making 114 starts.

The card also provides an excellent counterpart to Parrish's later 1989 team-change issues, which began showing him with the California Angels. For a comprehensive autograph collection, cards such as this are particularly appealing because they document the inevitable lag between offseason player movement and production of the following year's flagship sets.

Parrish quickly settled into his new surroundings in California, hitting another 17 home runs in 1989 before enjoying an excellent 1990 season in which he hit .268 with 24 home runs and 70 RBI and again earned All-Star and Silver Slugger honors.

Over 19 Major League seasons, Parrish accumulated 1,782 hits, 324 home runs and 1,070 RBI. His impressive career rsum includes eight All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves, six Silver Slugger Awards and the 1984 World Series championship with Detroit.
