Bryce Harper or Yu Darvish?  A New Allen & Ginter Record WILL Be Broken This Year!

History has proven that Topps Allen & Ginter is an annual release that grades very well with Beckett Grading Services (BGS).  Last year, Manny Pacquiao took the crown with 97 copies of his Allen & Ginter card being graded by BGS.  In past years, rookie cards of Evan Longoria and Daisuke Matsuzaka have been graded at high levels due to the design and quality of the cards.

This year, I am confident to say that either Bryce Harper or Yu Darvish will become the MOST GRADED ROOKIE CARD in the history of Topps Allen and Ginter.  The current list of Top Rookie Cards in the history of Allen & Ginter are:

Tim Lincecum: 114
Daisuke Matsuzaka: 91
Jason Heyward: 67
Buster Posey: 63
Evan Longoria: 56

Who do you think will take over the crown from Lincecum?  Bryce Harper or Yu Darvish?

In the long run, I think Trout has a strong chance. Early submissions might not be as strong due to more "mainstream" hype around Harper and Darvish.

Plus, is the Trout card even considered an RC? No RC designation on it. Let's also not forget about Lawrie!
