The 1999 Bowman baseball set continued the brand's long-standing emphasis on prospects and emerging young players alongside established Major League stars. Bowman had become one of the hobby's premier destinations for early cards of future standouts, making Berkman's appearance especially appealing to player and prospect collectors. Card #295 features Lance Berkman with the Houston Astros.

Selected by Houston with the 16th overall pick in the 1997 MLB Draft following a standout collegiate career at Rice University, Berkman moved rapidly through the Astros farm system. After an outstanding 1999 minor league campaign, he received his first call to the Major Leagues and made his MLB debut on July 16, 1999, beginning what would become a remarkable career in Houston.

Nicknamed "Big Puma," Berkman developed into one of the finest switch-hitters of his generation. He became a cornerstone of the Astros lineup alongside Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio as part of Houston's celebrated "Killer B's." A six-time MLB All-Star, Berkman spent the majority of his 15-year Major League career with Houston and finished with a .293 batting average, 366 home runs, 1,234 RBIs, 1,905 hits, and a .406 on-base percentage.

Berkman helped lead the Astros to their first World Series appearance in 2005, hitting .385 with six RBIs during the Fall Classic. He later won the 2011 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, delivering a game-tying hit with two outs in the 10th inning of the unforgettable Game 6.

Personally signed by Lance Berkman, this 1999 Bowman #295 is an outstanding early-career collectible from the season in which one of Houston's greatest players reached the Major Leagues.
