Celebrate the final Montreal Expos season of future National League All-Star Michael Barrett with this 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man #546 signed card.
The 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man set continued Upper Deck's ambitious concept of showcasing players from throughout Major League Baseball's 40-man rosters. Featuring crisp photography, premium card stock, and an expansive checklist, the series offered collectors the opportunity to own cards of stars, everyday players, and promising young talent alike. Today, the set remains especially popular with dedicated team collectors because of its comprehensive coverage.
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 converting from shortstop to catcher. By 2003, he had firmly established himself as Montreal's starting catcher, displaying the offensive and defensive skills that would soon make him one of the National League's top backstops. Following a trade to the Chicago Cubs, Barrett enjoyed a breakout 2005 season, earning both a National League All-Star selection and the National League Silver Slugger Award.
Issued during Barrett's final season with the Expos, this Upper Deck 40-Man card captures the future All-Star during the closing chapter of baseball in Montreal. It stands as one of the final Upper Deck issues featuring Barrett before the next phase of his successful career.
