- Bryce Harper has always been a baseball card superstar. People have loved collecting, trading, and speculating on his cards since 2008 when his USA rookie autos were released. Bryce Harper has had a magical run the last few postseasons. While he did not win a World Series either year, he performed extremely well and has cemented himself as a Phillies legend. In this video we break down Bryce Harper rookie cards, compare him to other baseball card greats, and discuss which cards we would buy.

Just looking at Harper cards on eBay and remembered you guys did an episode on him. He’s inconsistent, but when he’s on he’s a monster!
Eckersley was also a starter early on giving him a lot more innings pitched.
All in on Harper. ISO the rookie chrome sliding and red helmet cards. Rarely ever see those.
The chrome sliding is an absolute ghost of a card. Good luck on your hunt!
Harper already is a Hof'er, those 16 postseason home runs are triple what Betts has and just 2 behind Mantle. the guy is clutch!
There are a couple Topps Red Helmets on eBay now. Prices seem kind of high though.
@@ChrisP-in8qr Chris here - I know the Braves don’t have an answer for him.
Love watching/listening while I work ✌&🤟
Thanks for watching!
We are PERFECT background noise!!
Thanks for watching!
Great job guys, the only card I have that u have talked about is the mo rivera 92 bowman. Just collect cheapies and mid range here. Thanks for all u guys do for the hobby community
Thanks for watching and for the support. That Mo is a seminal card in the hobby! 💪🏼
I LOVE that 92 Bowman Rivera. That set was such a big deal back in 1992. Some iconic and terrible images 😂😂
That card is one of the best (worst) all time. We are lucky it happened to be the best closer ever and will stay relevant for decades to come.
@@nairbsggirb1718 yes! I’m glad we have reasons to continue revisiting they wonderful/terrible card
T-Pott's fiery speech in favor of the closer as valid specialist role (think Sniper in military terms) may have finally swung my vote after decades of loathing them as lesser-than pitchers.
Don’t let him do that to you! They just don’t pitch enough!
Hold strong!
He’s my favorite modern player I’ve comprised an elaborate collection of his cards and a few more otw I have a variety of his cards available for view on my channel I like to think I have the best Harper collection to this day I found his card prices reasonable enough to target select high end cards of his to mass together a rare and unique collection
Harper is such a fun guy to collect, so many cool cards to go after!
i think my favorite thing about these chats is Scottie B learning how streamyard works in real time.
😂
Technology is HARD
Great stuff guys! Scott---for Harper, you really have to look at his second half OPS for the 'clutch' thing. Elbow held him back until at least mid July. He was a totally different player once the arm healed. Agreed on closers....bar has to be realllllllll high for them for HOF.
Thanks for watching, Will! Good point about the recent 2nd half dominance of BH.
Thanks for watching and yep - totally agree. A closer has to do some exceptional things to get HOF votes.
Harper was a second half monster. Here’s hoping we see a full year of him in 2024!
Like this team!!
Appreciate the support! 💪🏼
Thanks!!
Do another review this year on closers and their roles and setup pitchers and how are they important to the games. Will setup guys ever have a chance for HOF and closers who could make the HOF
@@4TheGame2016 Chris here - I feel like you’re trying to trigger me!!
Mookie was an absolute monster in the 2018 playoffs
Yeah he was - that’s one of the best all around seasons in Red Sox history.
Dominant MVP campaign and then the team goes 11-3 in postseason.
What do y’all think about Ozzie Albies as sneaky hof play?
Chris here - Braves fan with a slight bias, but if he can put up a few more seasons like 2023, then he’ll find himself on a HOF track. He’s got a lot of power for a 2b and 131 HR heading into his age 27 season is a great place to be.
Just got to keep, scoring runs and driving them in!!
I have a nice little Ozzie stash of my own just in case, and I definitely think he can keep it up.
Just came across this one. Topps pissed me off to the max last week when they decided to replace a redemption I submitted over a year ago with a 2017 bryce harper bowman chrome ascent orange auto /25. The card they chose to not send me was a 2021 Bowman’s Best dual auto nolan arenado/paul goldschmidt /25. We argued about the value of each card but they didn’t want to hear it. I’m still annoyed they did it but learning to live with my first Harper auto…maybe i’ll even hang onto it.
Another great episode guys! Curious if Ohtani will come back in a closer/reliever role in ‘25….🤔
We hope not! We all want to see him starting again but we’ll see what his elbow can handle.
Thanks for watching!
I’m hoping he will start - that definitely seems like what he WANTS to do - but I guess a lot will depend on his recovery.
Billy Bob Butler... where are they now? Aside from 2 MVP's Harper kinda blows at baseball huh?... :) . enjoyed the content.
😠
😂😂😂
I've got Diamond Hands when it comes to Bryce. He's going to the hall and he won't stop for another 3-5 years.
Collecting is in a weird place with how many parallels there are, as well as how many 1/1s there are. Second and Third year 1/1s or SSPs just add more rare cards. If I invest, I usually don’t go set by set in cardboard connection to find the history or SSPs for third year of a player. I assume most others are the same. A small group might, but when investing you typically want something that has a lot of liquidity, which RCs have. I’d rather have a Barry Bonds opeechee RC PSA 9 than a SSP from topps 2015.
Rookie will definitely always have more liquidity. No argument here.
If you’re looking to buy or sell a trout update base gem, there are always buyers and available copies.
But when a truly rare card comes up for sale, bidders come Out of the woodwork.
Thanks for watching!
@SpitballinCards also, aside from looking at pop reports, how can you possibly keep tracking of which harper is an SP, which is SSP and which is SSSP? between sliding, red hat, batting, screaming. Jeez.
It’s hard to keep it all straight.
First - know what the base card image is. You’ll see it on every parallel, so you can recognize it. Any other image you see is some kind of variation/short print.
Second - if your eyes are good enough, there’s a code on the back of every card. All base cards end in the same 3 numbers.
All SP end in the same 3 numbers.
All SSP end in the same 3 numbers.
So when I doubt, check the codes.
You can Google “2018 topps baseball checklist,” or “2018 topps variations” and usually Beckett or cardboard connection will have the codes posted - and eventually the images.
@SpitballinCards which Bryce Harper bowman card are you referring to here that there are a ton of? Thanks.
I believe we were referring to the base auto of his 2011 Bowman Chrome auto. The refractor is #/500 but the base auto isn’t numbered. So probably quite a few were made.
havent finished episode yet but thoughts on his aflac autos if yall dont discuss? I have always liked them but just never pulled the trigger to buy it
Never owned one but I kinda like them. On-card auto helps. Like any of his other stuff, I’m going to wait a while before I go shopping again.
Baseballcardaddict here - I’ve thought about buying the Freeman AFLAC card but I never have. It’s cools and the auto is on card, but it’s not really “canon” so to speak. A little off the side of the hobby road.
At least that’s my opinion for now.
I’d rather have a 2009 Bowman chrome refractor auto.
I always said Manny Machado will have the better body of work when its all said and done.
He’s got a HUGE lead in WAR that’s probably beyond Harper’s reach.
But, it would be great for Manny to have a couple more top 5 MVP finishes.
Thanks for watching!
Harper is very under-priced in my opinion !>?! I find his RCs in 5-10 dollar boxes often! That is un-real 2 me !!?! Betts is also nice !! I just don't see people selling as many Betts at shows!!
Betts is simultaneously undervalued snd hard to find. He just downs that’s the hype around him that Harper does. Harper rookies for $5?! Sold!!
@@SpitballinCards Agree ! I see Betts topps RCs -the standard Topps sideway ones for 10-20 at local shops...?..My first few Harper RCs and pre RCs Bowmans were 5 ! I asked people at shows and shops I go to why Harper is so cheap and they all say he doesn't sell ! NW area people only want J-Rod or Ohtani it seems like?
@@kennethsalter9998 if you’re up around Seattle, it’s probably all JRod, Griffey and Ichiro - all the time!
If you ever see any really cheap Adrian beltre - grab it!!
@@SpitballinCards OK will do !! I will get at you if I come across good deal !! I actually find cards for many people!! I often talk to dealers and have been getting them 2 buy off each other all the time at shows! When you have a table it is sometimes hard to see what others have!! It wont be any worries if ya don't want it! Not holding anyone too it!!
@@kennethsalter9998 🍻🍻
The idea of the peak and valley of a player’s card when they say over or under value with base RC or every other card that player has since some has more then others.
Only base cards I’d watch for market trends is the base bowman chrome auto.
@@SpitballinCards looking at Ohtani, his 1st Bowman auto held up a lot stronger than his base cards
Scotty please don’t ever put Billy Butler or Roberto Alomar in the same sentence as Derek Sanderson Jeter 😉
🤣
If they didn’t want to be mentioned with Billy, they should have had a higher ops 😉. Thanks for watching!
@@scottiebcards2354OPS+ caters to hitters with more power, Jeter was one of the best pure hitters of all time. He has an offensive WAR of over 90 for his career. Context is key here. Butler and Jeter have similar career OPS+ but who are you taking if you need a hit with the game on the line? Not even a question.
Lol lol
@baseballcardaddict really needs to upgrade his audio quality. All the other panel members sound far better. Investing into a new microphone would be great.
Great video!
Oh no!! We’ll get him on that asap!
He’s cheap though. He doesn’t even like buying clothes.
@@SpitballinCards haha, he does like that Braves jersey a little too much!! He can start a GoFundMe for a Blue Yeti microphone. It would be more fun to hear about his love for sticker autos if he had a better mic! :))
This one didn’t age well for Harper 😶
It sure didn’t. Almost as though we jinxed him…
its seriously cringe the way Scottie is on Mookies jock. FYI Mookie sucked in the playoffs with the Redsox also and bubble title doesn't count
Roast me next!! 😂 Teddo speaks!
Kimbrel is absolutely not a Hall of Famer
I have to agree with you there.
Season = stats.
Playoffs = performance.
🤔🤔🤔
I think what's interesting about Bryce Harper is his dad's beard.
