This Glenn Davis autographed 1990 Topps Stickers Super Star Backs #2 Houston Astros card features one of the National League's leading power hitters during the late 1980s. A two-time National League All-Star and 1989 Silver Slugger Award winner, Davis was one of Houston's most important offensive players during his successful tenure with the Astros. His authentic autograph adds collectible appeal to this distinctive Topps specialty issue from the popular baseball sticker series.

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, quickly establishing himself as a dependable power hitter.

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 continued to rank among the National League's most productive power hitters throughout the remainder of the decade.

In 1988, he earned his second National League All-Star selection, hitting 30 home runs and driving in 99 runs while remaining a central figure in Houston's lineup.

He followed that performance with another outstanding season 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 affected 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 Topps Stickers Super Star Backs #2 Glenn Davis card belongs to a distinctive Topps release combining traditional baseball stickers with collectible player images printed on the reverse.

Unlike conventional baseball cards, the Topps Stickers series featured adhesive player stickers on one side and separate collectible player images on the backing cards.

The Super Star Backs portion of the release highlighted established Major League players, giving collectors another way to obtain cards of popular stars beyond the standard Topps baseball set.

These backing cards became a collecting category of their own, particularly among enthusiasts interested in completing individual player collections and obtaining less conventional baseball card issues.

Davis's appearance as #2 in the 1990 Topps Stickers Super Star Backs series reflects his standing as one of the National League's prominent offensive players entering the 1990 season.

The card was issued following his outstanding 1989 campaign, when he hit a career-high 34 home runs and received the National League Silver Slugger Award.

For Houston Astros collectors, this card represents one of the franchise's most productive offensive players during the late 1980s.

For collectors assembling comprehensive Glenn Davis card collections, the 1990 Topps Stickers Super Star Backs #2 offers an interesting specialty issue alongside his regular Topps, Bowman, Donruss, Fleer, Score, and Upper Deck releases.

The addition of Davis's authentic autograph enhances the collectible appeal of this distinctive Topps issue, combining an unconventional baseball card format with the signature of a former two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger Award winner.

Signature obtained through a private signing conducted by Under the Radar Sports Promotions and guaranteed to pass any third-party authentication service.
