Tony Batista Autographed 2001 Topps - Limited #457 PR3905 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Offering a more limited version of Tony Batistas standard Topps flagship card, this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Topps Limited #457 PR3905 Toronto Blue Jays card comes from the specially produced Limited Edition factory set. The card retains the familiar green-bordered design and photography of the regular 2001 Topps #457 while coming from a substantially smaller production run.

The 2001 Topps Limited Edition set was produced in a reported quantity of just 3,905 factory sets, giving this Batista card a considerably more limited distribution than its regular flagship counterpart. For collectors building player runs, the Limited Edition provides a particularly interesting variation of an otherwise familiar Topps issue.

Batista appears on the card following his outstanding 2000 season with Toronto. He established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI, scored 96 runs and earned his first American League All-Star selection. His 41 homers marked the highest single-season total of his career and capped a two-year stretch in which he combined for 72 home runs.

Batista became one of baseballs most recognizable hitters thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned a second MLB All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.

With its 3,905-set production run, the 2001 Topps Limited #457 offers a more limited alternative to Batistas standard flagship card and is an appealing addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Topps variation collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
