Michael Barrett Autographed 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars #330 Montreal Expos Card SP
Add a signed short print card of future Silver Slugger catcher Michael Barrett with this 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars #330 SP Montreal Expos issue.
This card comes from the 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars set, a premium release that spotlighted many of baseball's brightest young prospects and emerging Major League talent. Michael Barrett's #330 is a Short Print (SP), making it noticeably more challenging to find than standard base cards and an excellent addition for player, set, and parallel collectors.
Selected by the Montreal Expos with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 1995 MLB Draft, Michael Barrett went on to enjoy an 11-year Major League career with the Montreal Expos, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays. Originally drafted as a shortstop, Barrett successfully transitioned to catcher in the minor leagues and developed into one of the National League's premier offensive backstops. He finished his career with 98 home runs, 424 RBIs, a .263 batting average, and earned the 2005 National League Silver Slugger Award.
Issued while Barrett was one of the Expos' top prospects, this short print card captures him before he established himself in the Major Leagues. The combination of its limited production, premium Leaf design, and Barrett's authenticated signature makes it one of his more desirable early-career issues.
