Harper is not worth the $$$ , I remember when Albert Puljos first cards hit the market. He was in a MAJOR league Uniform..not playing in A or AA. His Chrome was $200-300, to much for me at the time or any time for a up coming prospect. I picked up a few SPX's and other Autos for $50 to $70 a pop. My best was a DR Stat-line ,at the time I was a card hoarder and new to the Hobby. ..Well not new reborn lol.....I just can't see this $$$ being spent on a nobody, good luck to all that invest. Sell this spring or you will be sorry!!!!!!

Some of harper's RC's are in a Major League uniform too. They are spring training pictures, just like Albert's RC's. See that he is wearing #36 in some of them, the # he wore in ST

Are you retarded, Albert was playing in the Majors and raking...the Harper Boy is still a long way from truly proving he can do it on a ML level.

Please dont comment about anyone being retarded with the mindless quality of most of your posts here.

Your post recognized that Pujols rookies were in a MAJOR league Uniform as you stated. I responded that Harper's RC's are ALSO in a Major league Uniform and that their rookies were BOTH pictures from Spring Training.

Pujols was also a 21 year old Rookie, Harper JUST turned 19. Pujols was 2nd class to Ichiro when his rookies came out. He had 18 HR as the AS Break, so granted he was doing well for a rookie, he was hardly devastating the league. Think your posts through before responding and making yourself look MORE like a clueless *censor*.

He said "[Pujols] was in a MAJOR league Uniform..not playing in A or AA" - which is different from BH. This is true. Nothing mindless being said here just differences of opinion.

Pujols was drafted in 99 and was in the Minors until appearing for the Cardinals in 2001. Thats a minimum of 2 seasons in the Minors. Nobody is comparing Pujols to Harper ability wise. 2 completely different styles of players. I agree that Harper isnt going to be the savior of the league or anything, but theres been plenty of guys to make an impact on the league without hitting .300 or hitting 40+ HR a year. No reason why Harper cant be one of those kinds of players.

Yes, but as the OP said, unlike BH, Pujols was first pictured in a MLB uni the same year he was a rookie. I think the OP was pointing out there was less risk with Pujols.
