Add a signed card of National League All-Star and Silver Slugger catcher Michael Barrett with this 2005 Topps Turkey Red #236 Chicago Cubs issue.
This card comes from the 2005 Topps Turkey Red set, a 315-card premium release inspired by the iconic 1911 Turkey Red Cabinets (T3). Released on August 31, 2005, the set combines modern MLB stars with a classic oversized tobacco-card design, featuring painted-style artwork, decorative borders, and numerous short prints, variations, autographs, and memorabilia cards. It remains one of Topps' most distinctive retro-themed releases of the 2000s.
Originally selected by the Montreal Expos with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 1995 MLB Draft, Michael Barrett enjoyed an 11-year Major League career with the Montreal Expos, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays. After joining the Cubs before the 2004 season, Barrett reached the pinnacle of his career in 2005, earning his first National League All-Star selection while capturing the National League Silver Slugger Award. He batted .307 with 16 home runs and 75 RBIs, establishing himself as one of baseball's premier offensive catchers.
Issued during Barrett's career-best season, this card showcases him as the Cubs' everyday catcher at the height of his success. The vintage-inspired Turkey Red artwork makes it one of his most visually appealing Chicago Cubs cards and a favorite among collectors of modern retro releases.
