Add a signed card of future Silver Slugger catcher Michael Barrett with this 1999 Fleer Brilliants #168 Montreal Expos issue.
This card comes from the innovative 1999 Fleer Brilliants set, one of Fleer's most visually distinctive releases of the late 1990s. Printed on 24-point styrene plastic stock with a mirrored foil finish, the set delivered a futuristic look unlike anything else on the market. The final 50 cards in the checklist, including Michael Barrett's #168, comprise the short-printed Rookie subset, making this one of his more desirable mainstream rookie-era cards.
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 young prospects, this card represents an important early-career issue from one of the hobby's most recognizable premium brands. Its mirrored finish, unique plastic stock, and inclusion in the short-printed rookie subset make it a standout addition to any Barrett collection.
