Kris Bryant Rookie Cards Checklist

Bryant was a collegiate All-American in 2012 and 2013. The Cubs selected him second overall in the 2013 MLB draft, and he quickly established himself as one of the game's top prospects. Bryant debuted in the major leagues in 2015. He was named to the National League's (NL) All-Star team and won the Rookie of the Year Award. In 2016, he was chosen an All-Star for the second time, won the World Series with the Cubs, and was voted the National League's Most Valuable Player.

It's all about the pre-rookies because they are inexpensive and enjoyable to collect, and every now and then one of those pre-rookies, like Bryant, becomes famous.

A pre-rookie card is any card that has been printed before a player's debut at the major league level.

Kris Bryant's first card from 2009 is seen below. Bowman AFLAC is a series of card sets issued in association with the All-American Classic, an annual high school all-star game featuring some of the top players in the country. The game's presenting sponsor was the American Family Life Assurance Company (AFLAC).

---

Kris Bryant was named to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team a few years later. Patches, autograps, and a combination of the two are all included in this set.

---

Now that Kris Bryant is with the Cubs, he is starting to appear on some minor league clubs and has his first Bowman card.

---

As you can see, 2014 was the end of his pre-rookie period. He is now in triple A and also featured on the heritage sets, not to mention 2nd year Bowman.

above card is a SP

---

FINALLY, these are his official RC cards. I did not even come close to listing all of his cards over the early years; there were way too many paralles and inserts to mention.

---

Kris Bryant's autograph has evolved significantly throughout the years. His complete name appeared on his high school autograph, but during his rookie season, it had been modified to KBT.
