Lance Parrish Autographed 1991 Upper Deck #552 California Angels Card

Add a sharp early Upper Deck issue to a comprehensive Lance Parrish autograph collection with this 1991 Upper Deck #552 California Angels card, personally autographed by the eight-time Major League All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner, six-time Silver Slugger winner and 1984 World Series champion. Parrish is correctly cataloged as #552 with the California Angels in the 1991 Upper Deck set.

The 1991 Upper Deck release came during only the third year of Upper Deck baseball, when the company was still helping redefine collectors' expectations for photography, card stock and overall presentation. Parrish's #552 provides an attractive Angels-era counterpart to his 1989 and 1990 Upper Deck issues.

There is also an interesting variation angle for the serious player collector. Trading Card Database catalogs Parrish #552 with different Upper Deck hologram variations on the reverse, including a 1990 Upper Deck Baseballs hologram and a 1990-91 Crossed Hockey Sticks hologram. These subtle production differences are worth checking when building an especially thorough Parrish run.

The card followed Parrish's outstanding 1990 campaign, when he hit .268 with 24 home runs and 70 RBI while earning his eighth All-Star selection and sixth Silver Slugger Award. Parrish remained California's primary catcher in 1991 and continued to supply significant power at age 35.

During the 1991 season, Parrish appeared in 119 games, recording 87 hits, 12 doubles, 19 home runs and 51 RBI. His 19 home runs were second on the club to Wally Joyner among the Angels players shown in Baseball-Reference's primary batting table and remained impressive production for a veteran catcher.

For a deep Parrish collection, this is a particularly nice mainstream issue because it combines early Upper Deck appeal with documented hologram variations. The clean photography-driven Upper Deck design also makes for an attractive presentation of Parrish's autograph.

Parrish ultimately completed a 19-year Major League career with 1,782 hits, 324 home runs and 1,070 RBI, earning eight All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves and six Silver Slugger Awards while serving as the starting catcher for the 1984 World Series Champion Detroit Tigers.
