Add a signed card of fan-favorite right-hander Jose Lima with this 2006 Topps Heritage #298 Kansas City Royals issue.
This card comes from the 2006 Topps Heritage set, a 484-card release inspired by the iconic 1957 Topps baseball design. Featuring vintage-style artwork, traditional card stock, and nostalgic photography, Topps Heritage remains one of the hobby's most beloved annual products. Card #298 is one of the set's short prints (SP), giving it added appeal among Heritage set builders and player collectors.
Jose Lima pitched in the Major Leagues for 13 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and New York Mets. Known as much for his energetic personality as his pitching, "Lima Time" became a fan favorite throughout baseball. His finest season came in 1999, when he won 21 games for the Astros, earned an All-Star selection, and finished fourth in the National League Cy Young Award voting. He later became a postseason hero for the 2004 Los Angeles Dodgers, throwing a complete-game victory in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
Issued during his final Major League season, this short-print Heritage card features Lima with the Kansas City Royals and serves as one of the last mainstream baseball cards of his memorable career. The classic 1957 Topps-inspired design makes it a standout collectible for Royals fans and autograph collectors alike.
