Best Kyle Tucker Rookie Card: 2015 Bowman Chrome RC #75
We were starting to lose faith in ol’ Kyle, but once he finally got a regular job (in 2020), he showed that he is the actual 5 tool superstar many were predicting… at least, it’s looking that way so far.
It’s time to bust out all of our Kyle Tucker RC lots and send them in for grading or bounce them up on eBay for a tidy little profit.
We feel Tucker has a great career in front of him that could track very similar to team Alex Bregman.
