Add a signed early-career card of future Silver Slugger catcher Michael Barrett with this 1999 Bowman International #123 Montreal Expos issue.
This card comes from the distinctive 1999 Bowman International set, a premium parallel of the popular Bowman release. Featuring an attractive foilboard finish and a player hometown map incorporated into the card's background, the International parallel offered collectors a unique alternative to the standard Bowman cards. Produced in more limited quantities than the base set, these parallels remain favorites among Bowman and prospect 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 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 during Barrett's emergence as one of the Expos' top young players, this premium parallel is one of his more desirable Bowman issues. Its foilboard finish and distinctive International design make it stand out from the standard base card while remaining an affordable favorite for player and set collectors.
