Add a signed rookie-era card of future Silver Slugger catcher Michael Barrett with this 1999 Upper Deck Ovation #79 WP Montreal Expos issue.

This card comes from the premium 1999 Upper Deck Ovation set, one of Upper Deck's most innovative baseball releases. Featuring the brand's signature baseball leather-textured card fronts with crisp photography and premium finishes, Ovation quickly became a collector favorite and remains one of the most distinctive baseball products of the late 1990s. Michael Barrett's #79 is part of the Wonder Years Prospects (WP) subset, highlighting some of the game's most promising young talent.

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 emerging as one of the Expos' top prospects, this Wonder Years Prospects card captures him before the most productive years of his Major League career. The premium leather-textured design and Upper Deck's high-quality production make it one of Barrett's most attractive rookie-era issues.
