2018 TOPPS BRYCE HARPER STATS UPDATE
In addition, both Update Series base cards are available in the following parallels: One-of-one Platinum and Wood parallels, as well as a set of four Printing Plates, of card 661A and the two Update Series base cards were also randomly inserted into Series Two and Update Series packs. There are two variations of this card: #US299B is a horizontal card with Chipper Jones, the other (#US299C) is Harper in a suit. Because the player's "true" rookie card was already issued (either in Series One, Series Two, or, in some cases, the Update Series itself), Rookie Debut's are not considered RCs.Ĭard #US299 is from the All-Star Game subset and commemorates Harper's selection to the 2012 National League All-Star Team.
Over the last couple of years, Topps Update has included a "Rookie Debut" subset - essentially, an excuse for Topps to make yet another card of the current rookie card class. The two base cards are from the "Rookie Debut" and "All-Star Game" subsets (cards #US183 and #US299, respectively), while the two variations are different versions of card #US299 This is card "661C" and is referred to by some as the "green" Harper for the green scoreboard in the background, or the "screaming" Harper.įor 2012 Topps Update, Topps produced two different Harper base cards and two short-printed variations. Inside specially-marked retail factory sets was a pack of five rookie variations, one of which is of Harper. This is version "661B," and is considered by BCP to be his "true RC." This is often referred to as the "leg up" card. Just like with Strasburg in 2010, each 2012 Topps Factory Set contained a Bryce Harper "661" card that is completely different than the once inserted into packs. We consider the autographed version to be card "661AU." This card is notated "TOPPS CERTIFIED AUTOGRAPHED ISSUE" on the front, but is otherwise no different than the unautographed card. In addition, a limited number of 661A cards with a sticker autograph of Harper were also randomly seeded into Series Two packs. For purposes of this checklist, we consider this to be card "661A".Įven though Beckett has given card 661A it's "RC" label, because of the "gimmick" nature of the card, BCP does not. Versions "661A" & "661AU": The Series Two Gimmicked Short-PrintsĪlmost as soon as Harper was called-up to the Nationals, Topps issued a press release announcing that Harper would be included as an additional card in the Series Two base set however the card would be short-printed - marking the first time the Topps base set would include an intentionally SPed rookie card. 1 Versions "661A" & "661AU": The Series Two Gimmicked Short-Prints.
