Add a signed card of future National League All-Star catcher Michael Barrett with this 2003 Topps Total #496 Montreal Expos issue.
The 2003 Topps Total set was designed to provide one of the most complete player checklists of the modern era. With more than 900 cards, the set featured nearly every player on Major League rosters, making it especially popular among team collectors and fans looking for cards of players who were often overlooked in traditional flagship releases. Its clean design and comprehensive checklist have earned Topps Total a loyal following among collectors.
Originally selected by the Montreal Expos with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 1995 MLB Draft, Michael Barrett developed into one of the organization's top young players after successfully converting from shortstop to catcher. By 2003, he had become Montreal's everyday catcher, providing leadership behind the plate while continuing to improve offensively. Following a trade to the Chicago Cubs before the 2004 season, Barrett blossomed into one of the National League's premier catchers, earning a 2005 All-Star selection and the National League Silver Slugger Award.
Issued during Barrett's final season with the Montreal Expos, this Topps Total card captures an important moment in both his career and the history of the franchise. It serves as one of the final comprehensive-set releases featuring Barrett in an Expos uniform before the organization's relocation to Washington.
