2013 Topps Update Chrome Bryce Harper #MB-30

I picked this Harper 2013 Home Run Derby subset card up for $0.60 to take note of the 22-year old - who could very well be the 2015 National League MVP [even as his Washington Nationals have been up and down at best].

I don't keep up with his numbers on a game-to-game basis, but he is putting up some monster numbers - while he hasn't hit as many home runs in the second half, Harper's on-base and slugging percentages are still well north of .400/.600.

Having played in the MLB for the last four years, Harper's basic cards are a dime a dozen - while this one is just another miscellaneous card to be put away, it might be the card I save for my award winners collection if Harper is awarded the NL MVP.

2013 Topps Mega Box recaps

These were $14.98 each at Walmart - I lured myself into buying a couple of boxes, not knowing what could be in the Chrome packs and hoping for the best.

I guess it's nice to rip something - when I feel like I'd rather cut back much of the time.
