Fans recently voted him as the 2017 No. 1 Topps Baseball Series 1 card. For you non-baseball card lovers, this just means that Bryant’s card will be number 1 of 350.
Bryant recently said he was “humbled” by the award and spoke about his love for baseball cards growing up. I have to admit that it’d be pretty cool to open up a pack of baseball cards and see yourself but the question arises: would you be able to trade your own card with your friends? Like, if KB gets his own card in a pack and calls his buddy up like, “hey, come over and bring your cards. I just got myself but I’m looking to trade me for let’s say….Mike Trout?”
I’m 100% positive Bryant doesn’t trade baseball cards but it’s a pretty cool hypothetical right?
Bryant also mentioned baseball cards during the Cubs Convention in January but in a much different context.

Bryant joked (I think?) at the fact that most of his baseball cards somehow find a way to capture him making what he called a “weird face.” I’m assuming he was referring to cards like this,
I also think KB may have been stretching the truth just a tad because those are the only cards that feature him making strange faces and let’s face it, even with these faces he’s still better looking than 98% of the human population.
Fans of Topps baseball cards have justified Bryant’s popularity even though Cubs fans have known he’s been a number one guy since his arrival to the team in 2015.
