Lance Berkman Autographed 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter #170 Houston Astros Card

Featuring Lance Berkman with the Houston Astros, this Lance Berkman autographed 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter #170 Houston Astros card pairs one of the franchise's greatest hitters with the distinctive vintage-inspired artwork of Topps' popular Allen & Ginter series. Berkman spent the first 12 seasons of his Major League career with Houston and became a cornerstone of the Astros lineup.

The Astros selected Berkman with the 16th overall pick in the 1997 MLB Draft following his standout career at Rice University. He reached the Major Leagues in 1999 and soon joined Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell as part of Houston's formidable lineup.

Berkman produced one of his finest seasons in 2008, batting .312 with 46 doubles, 29 home runs, 106 RBI and 18 stolen bases while posting a .986 OPS. He earned his fifth All-Star selection and finished fifth in National League MVP voting, making the 2009 Allen & Ginter #170 an attractive issue from the latter portion of his outstanding Astros tenure.

A key member of the 2005 Astros, Berkman helped Houston capture the first National League pennant in franchise history. He drove in 14 runs during that postseason, including six in the World Series against the Chicago White Sox.

Berkman was a six-time All-Star and finished his 15-season Major League career with 1,905 hits, 366 home runs, 1,234 RBI and a .293 batting average. He later helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the 2011 World Series, delivering a game-tying hit with two outs and two strikes in the 10th inning of the unforgettable Game 6. The 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter #170 is an appealing addition for Astros collectors, Lance Berkman fans, Allen & Ginter collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
