This Glenn Davis autographed 1990 Score 100 Superstars #52 Houston Astros baseball card features one of the National League's most respected power hitters during the late 1980s. A two-time National League All-Star and 1989 Silver Slugger Award winner, Davis established himself as one of Houston's most important offensive players. His authentic autograph adds collectible appeal to this distinctive Score specialty issue celebrating prominent Major League stars.
Selected by the Houston Astros in the first round of the 1979 Major League Baseball Draft, Glenn Davis attended the University of Georgia before beginning his professional baseball career. He made his Major League debut in 1984 and became Houston's regular first baseman in 1985, developing into a consistent source of power in the Astros' lineup.
Davis enjoyed his breakthrough season in 1986, batting .265 with 31 home runs and 101 RBIs while helping Houston capture the National League West Division championship with a 9666 record.
His performance earned him his first National League All-Star selection, and he finished second in the 1986 National League Most Valuable Player voting, behind Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt.
The Astros advanced to the National League Championship Series, where they faced the eventual World Series champion New York Mets in a memorable six-game matchup.
Davis remained one of the National League's most productive power hitters over the following seasons. In 1988, he earned his second All-Star selection after hitting 30 home runs and driving in 99 runs.
He followed with another outstanding performance in 1989, establishing a career high with 34 home runs and earning the National League Silver Slugger Award at first base.
The 1990 season marked Davis's final year with the Houston Astros. Following the season, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in a deal that brought Steve Finley, Curt Schilling, and Pete Harnisch to Houston.
Although injuries limited his later career, Davis finished his 10 Major League seasons with 190 home runs and 603 RBIs, leaving behind an impressive record of offensive production, particularly during his years in Houston.
The 1990 Score 100 Superstars #52 Glenn Davis card was issued as part of a specialty collection highlighting 100 notable Major League players of the period.
Rather than appearing in Score's regular 1990 baseball card set, this card belongs to a separate release designed to showcase established stars and popular players.
The Score 100 Superstars series offered collectors another opportunity to obtain cards of their favorite players, making it an appealing addition to the growing variety of specialty baseball card products available during the early 1990s.
Davis's inclusion in the collection reflects his standing among the game's prominent power hitters following his outstanding 1989 campaign.
With two All-Star selections, a runner-up finish in National League MVP voting, and a Silver Slugger Award already to his credit, Davis was an established star when this card was issued.
For Houston Astros collectors, the 1990 Score 100 Superstars #52 represents one of the franchise's leading offensive players during the late 1980s.
For collectors assembling a comprehensive Glenn Davis card collection, this specialty issue provides an attractive alternative to his regular 1990 Topps, Bowman, Donruss, Fleer, Score, and Upper Deck cards.
The addition of Davis's authentic autograph further enhances the appeal of this collectible, combining a nostalgic Score specialty release with the signature of one of Houston's most recognizable players from the era.
Signature obtained through a private signing conducted by Under the Radar Sports Promotions and guaranteed to pass any third-party authentication service.
This autographed Glenn Davis card is an excellent addition to collections featuring Houston Astros memorabilia, 1990 Score 100 Superstars baseball cards, 1980s power hitters, National League All-Stars, Silver Slugger Award winners, and signed Major League Baseball collectibles.
