A Detroit-area enterprise, Triple SSS Sports Cards maintains an extensive inventory of graded cards from top names across professional sports. Triple SSS Sports Cards sells cards featuring a number of popular athletes, including Bryce Harper.

One of the enduring power hitters in baseball whose cards witnessed a bump from a stellar World Series performance (even though his team lost) is Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. Unusual in an era of premium-stock chrome rookies, Harper’s most iconic rookie card is a 2012 flagship "cardboard" Topps issue. While many Series 1 and Series 2 Topps cards were produced, along with the 2011 Bowman Chrome edition that many enthusiasts consider his rookie card. Harper’s card was added late in the production of Series 2, following his Washington Nationals’ debut.

Prices of this SSP (super short printed, which indicates a very limited number of cards actually printed) issue can reach $1,000, depending on grade. For those who want a more affordable rookie option, Topps did include two Harper variations in factory sets from 2012. Because these are more common and not pack pulled, they are less expensive, often in the $200 range.

One of the rarest Bryce Harper serial-numbered rookie cards is the 2012 Topps Five Star, which is limited to 80 copies and can bring in several hundred dollars at auction. In addition to Topps, Panini produced a Bryce Harper National Treasures rookie card that features a piece of game-used jersey.
