Just 31 years old, Bryce Harper has already been making headlines for fifteen years. If he finishes out his current contract as a productive player, Harper is a lock for first ballot election to the Hall of Fame. Head back to ground zero, with this Harper signed Sports Illustrated magazine. Dated 6/8/09, this SI issue marks Harper's first appearance on the cover of the long-running sports publication. Harper has signed boldly on the front cover of this appealing magazine with ("10") strength, by means of a blue fel-tip pen, and he has included the inscriptions "34, Luke 1:37". At the time this cover photo was taken, Harper was still a high school player in Las Vegas. The caption "Chosen One" at left announced Harper as "The Most Exciting Prodigy Since LeBron". Based on Harper's performance to date, he has certainly lived up to this billing, and with another eight years guaranteed in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform, the future looks very bright. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $150.
