Known for its brilliant chromium-style finish, bold contemporary design, and premium presentation, Finest showcased established Major League stars alongside emerging young talent.

Selected by Houston with the 16th overall pick in the 1997 MLB Draft following a standout collegiate career at Rice University, Berkman quickly established himself as one of the organization's premier prospects. He made his Major League debut on July 16, 1999, beginning a career that would eventually establish him as one of the most accomplished offensive players in Astros history.

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

Berkman helped lead Houston to its first World Series appearance in 2005 and later captured the 2011 World Series championship with the St. Louis Cardinals. His clutch game-tying single with two outs in the 10th inning of the unforgettable Game 6 helped keep the Cardinals alive on their way to the championship.

Personally signed by Lance Berkman, this 1999 Topps Finest #147 is an outstanding premium early-career collectible from the season in which the future Astros great reached the Major Leagues.
