He was on my list of players to find this summer. He had cards in some Panini products last year which featured him in a college uni, but nothing in a Major League licensed product. Honestly, I think the U of F cards looked cool, but there were a little bit more expensive than what I was willing to pay, or part with in trade.
Then Bowman Chrome came out this summer and Harrison Bader appeared. I was initially pretty excited, but the cards seemed to linger in and around $25 and Bader had on OPS below .700 in 50 Triple games this summer. I was still interested in his cards, just not at that price.
Last week I finally found a Harrison Bader card in a trade and was happy with what I gave up for the card......
I am still not sure about Bader given what happened last year in the high minors, but I should also mention that I picked up another Cardinals player's autograph in the trade. I wasn't really looking forward to having to pay money for this guy's card......
but apparently he is on the Cardinals roster for the next few years. Since it was practically a throw-in, I am going to go ahead and be alright with this card being in my collection. Hopefully both players do a little better in 2017 and we can revisit this post and laugh....
