Bryce Harper was dubbed a generational talent before he was even drafted. It's rare that a player with so much hype live up to such lofty expectations. Safe to say, Harper has done that. A two-time National League MVP, his career numbers are starting to add up and the outfielder still has plenty of baseball left in him. Harper is also one of MLB's biggest stars. His passion makes a lot of fans love him and others loath. In both instances, Harper's making baseball more exciting.
When it comes to Harper's rookie autographs, it's tough to top Topps Chrome. Not only is it a cornerstone brand but the on-card autograph and charismatic photo make it more intriguing. The Atomic Refractor pattern hints at what would become Topps Chrome Sapphire a few years later. Numbered /10, it's exceptionally rare that one hits the market.
